Song of Solomon 7 — ULB

7Verse 1How beautiful your feet appear in your sandals, prince's daughter!
The curves of your thighs are like jewels,
the work of the hands of a master craftsman.
^{Verse 2}Your navel is like a round bowl;
may it never lack mixed wine.
Your belly is like a mound of wheat
encircled with lilies.
^{Verse 3}Your two breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
^{Verse 4}Your neck is like a tower of ivory;
your eyes are the pools in Heshbon
by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower in Lebanon
that looks toward Damascus.
^{Verse 5}Your head is on you like Carmel;
the hair on your head is dark purple.
The king is held captive by its tresses.
^{Verse 6}How beautiful and how lovely you are,
my love, with delights!^{+
Verse 7}Your height is like that of a date palm tree,
and your breasts like clusters of fruit.
^{Verse 8}I said, “I want to climb that palm tree;
I will take hold of its branches.”
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,
and may the fragrance of your nose be like apricots.
^{Verse 9}May your palate be like the best wine,
flowing smoothly for my beloved,
gliding over the lips of those who sleep.⁺The woman speaking to the man^{Verse 10}I am my beloved's,
and he desires me.
^{Verse 11}Come, my beloved, let us go out into the countryside;
let us spend the night in the villages.^{+
Verse 12}Let us rise early to go to the vineyards;
let us see whether the vines have budded,
whether their blossoms have opened,
and whether the pomegranates are in flower.
There I will give you my love.
^{Verse 13}The mandrakes give off their fragrance;
at the door where we are staying are all sorts of choice fruits, new and old,
that I have stored up for you, my beloved.
