(Song of Solomon 1:1-3) Solomon’s Song of Songs. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you!

(Song of Solomon 4:1-4) How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes behind your veil are doves. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone. Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon; your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like the halves of a pomegranate. Your neck is like the tower of David, built with elegance; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors.

(Song of Solomon 4:5) Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies.
+
(Song of Solomon 4:6) Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense.
+
(Song of Solomon 4:7) All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you.
+
(Song of Solomon 4:9-11) You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace. How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice! Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride; milk and honey are under your tongue.
+
(Song of Solomon 4:12) You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
+
(Song of Solomon 4:15-16) You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon. Awake, north wind, and come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread everywhere. Let my beloved come into his garden and taste its choice fruits.
