7Verse 1How beautiful are your sandaled feet, O nobleman’s daughter! The curves of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a master craftsman. Verse 2Your navel is a round mixing bowl – may it never lack mixed wine! Your belly is a mound of wheat, encircled by lilies. Verse 3Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. Verse 4Your neck is like a tower made of ivory. Your eyes are the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath-Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon overlooking Damascus. Verse 5Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel. The locks of your hair are like royal tapestries – the king is held captive in its tresses!Verse 6How beautiful you are! How lovely, O love, with your delights!
The Palm Tree and the Palm Tree Climber
The Lover to His Beloved:
Verse 7Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like clusters of grapes. Verse 8I want to climb the palm tree, and take hold of its fruit stalks. May your breasts be like the clusters of grapes, and may the fragrance of your breath be like apricots! Verse 9May your mouth be like the best wine, flowing smoothly for my beloved, gliding gently over our lips as we sleep together.
Poetic Refrain: Mutual Possession
The Beloved about Her Lover:
Verse 10I am my beloved’s, and he desires me!
The Journey to the Countryside
The Beloved to Her Lover:
Verse 11Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside; let us spend the night in the villages. Verse 12Let us rise early to go to the vineyards, to see if the vines have budded, to see if their blossoms have opened, if the pomegranates are in bloom – there I will give you my love. Verse 13The mandrakes send out their fragrance; over our door is every delicacy, both new and old, which I have stored up for you, my lover.
