7 Your feet are beautiful in sandals,
    you daughter of a prince.
Your round thighs are like jewels
    shaped by an artist.
² Your navel is like a round drinking cup
    always filled with wine.
Your stomach is like a pile of wheat
    with lilies around it like a fence.
³ Your breasts are like two fawns.
    They are like twins of a gazelle.
⁴ Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are like the pools in Heshbon
    near the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon
    which looks toward Damascus.
⁵ Your head is like Mount Carmel.
    And your hair is like purple cloth.
    The king is captured in its folds.
⁶ You are beautiful.
    You are very pleasant.
    My love, you are full of delights!
⁷ You are tall like a palm tree.
    Your breasts are like its bunches of fruit.
⁸ I said, “I will climb up the palm tree.
    I will take hold of its fruit.”
Let your breasts be like bunches of grapes.
    Let the smell of your breath be like apples.
⁹     And let your mouth be like the best wine.

Let this wine go down sweetly for my lover.
    May it flow gently past the lips and teeth.
¹⁰ I belong to my lover,
    and he desires only me.
¹¹ Come, my lover.
    Let’s go out into the country.
    Let’s spend the night in the fields.
¹² Let’s go early to the vineyards.
    Let’s see if the buds are on the vines.
Let’s see if the blossoms have already opened
    and if the pomegranates have bloomed.
There I will give you my love.
¹³ The mandrake flowers give their sweet smell.
    And at our gates there are all the best fruits.
I have saved them for you, my lover,
    the old delights and the new.
