1 The song of songs which is of Solomon.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth,

for better is your love than wine.

3 As for the smell of your oils—they are good;

oil poured out is your name.

Therefore, marriageable women love you.

4 Draw me after you; let us run.

The king has brought me to his bedroom.

Let us be glad and rejoice in you.

Let us profess your love more than wine;

rightly do they love you.

5 I am black, but lovely, daughters of Jerusalem,

like the tents of Kedar,

like the curtains of Solomon.

6 Do not look at me, that I am black,

that the sun scorched me.

The sons of my mother were angry with me;

they appointed me as keeper of the vineyards—

my vineyard that is mine, I have not kept.

7 Declare to me, you whom my soul loves:

where do you graze?

Where do you make your flocks lie down at noontime?

For why should I be like a woman who covers herself

beside the flocks of your companions?

8 If you do not know, most beautiful among women,

go out in the footprints of the flock,

and pasture your young goats beside the tents of the shepherds.

9 To a mare among the chariots of Pharaoh

I liken you, my darling.

10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings;

your neck is beautiful with necklaces.

11 Earrings of gold we will make for you,

with studs of silver.

12 While the king was on his couch,

my nard gave off its smell.

13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me;

between my breasts it stays.

14 A cluster of henna blossoms is my beloved to me,

in the vineyards of Engedi.

15 Behold you! You are beautiful, my darling.

Behold you—you are beautiful;

your eyes are doves.

16 Behold you—you are handsome, my beloved, truly pleasant.

Indeed, our couch is leafy.

17 The beams of our house are cedars;

our rafters are pine.
