Song of Solomon 4 EASY

« The young man:

1. My dear friend, how beautiful you are! Yes, you are very beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are like doves. Your hair is like a group of goats that are coming down from Mount Gilead.

2. Your teeth are very white like a group of sheep. They are like sheep after someone has cut off their dirty wool and they are coming from the pool of water. Each tooth is one of a pair. Not one of them is alone.

3. Your lips are like bright red strings. Your mouth is lovely. The sides of your face are beautiful, like the halves of a pomegranate. I see them through your veil.

4. Your neck is like the great tower of King David. It is round and strong. Your necklace is like the shields of 1,000 brave soldiers that hang from the stones of the tower.

5. Your breasts are perfect, like two young gazelles that are twins. They feed themselves among the lilies.

6. I will go to the mountain of myrrh and the hill of frankincense. I will stay among them until the dawn comes and the shadows go away.

7. You are completely beautiful, my dear friend. Your body is perfect in every way.

8. Come with me from Lebanon, my bride. Yes, come with me from Lebanon. Come down from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir. Come down from the highest part of Hermon. Come away from those mountains where lions live, and where there are leopards.

9. I love you so much that I never want to leave you, my sister and my bride. When you looked at me only once and I saw one jewel in your necklace, I knew that I could never leave you.

10. Your love for me is wonderful, my sister and my bride. I enjoy your love even more than I enjoy wine. Your perfume has a smell that is more lovely than any spice!

11. Your lips taste very sweet to me, my bride. They taste like honey that falls from the honeycomb. Milk and honey are under your tongue. The smell of your clothes is like the cedar trees of Lebanon.

12. My sister and my bride, you are like a garden for me that is locked to other men. You are like a spring or a fountain that other people may not drink water from.

13. Your body is like a special garden. It is full of pomegranate trees with their sweet fruit. There are wonderful fruits to enjoy. There are also henna and nard.

14. There are nard, saffron, calamus, cinnamon and many different spices. There are myrrh, aloes and all the best spices.

The young woman:

15. You are like a spring of water in a garden. You are like a well that has fresh water. The water runs down from Lebanon's mountains.

16. Wake up, north wind! Come now, south wind! Blow on my garden! Make the sweet smell of its spices move in the air. May my lover come into his garden now! Let him taste its wonderful fruits!
