1. My darling, you are lovely,so very lovely—as you look through your veil,your eyes are those of a dove.Your hair tosses aboutas gracefully as goatscoming down from Gilead.
2. Your teeth are whiterthan sheep freshly washed;they match perfectly,not one is missing.
3. Your lips are crimson cords,your mouth is shapely;behind your veil are hiddenbeautiful rosy cheeks.
4. Your neck is more gracefulthan the tower of David,decorated with thousandsof warriors' shields.
5. Your breasts are perfect;they are twin deerfeeding among lilies.
6. I will hasten to those hillssprinkled with sweet perfumeand stay there till sunrise.
