UST SNG Chapter 7

SNG 7 ©

The woman’s lover speaking to her

7You who are the daughter of a prince,

have very lovely feet in your sandals!

Your curved hips are like jewels

that have been made by a man who shapes jewels very well.

2Your navel is like a round bowl

that is always full of wine mixed with spices.

Your belly is like a pile of wheat

with lilies growing around it.

3Your breasts are as delicate as two young twin deer.

4Your neck is long and beautiful like a tower made of ivory.

Your eyes sparkle like the pools of water in the city of Heshbon,

near the Bath Rabbim gate.

Your nose is beautiful like the tower in Lebanon

that faces Damascus.

5Your head is majestic like Mount Carmel.

Your long hair is shiny and black;

it is as though I, your king, am captured by your tresses.

6You are very beautiful and very lovely!

Loving you is very delightful!

7You are tall like a palm tree,

and your breasts are full and round like date clusters that hang from palm trees.

8I said to myself, “I will climb that palm tree

and take hold of those clusters of dates.”

I want your breasts to be like sweet clusters of grapes that I can enjoy;

I want your breath to be like the sweet fragrance of apples. 9I want your kisses to be like very good wine.

The

When I kiss you, the man who I love,

I want my kisses to be as if you are freely drinking wine,

and as if wine is flowing over our lips as we sleep together.

and he desires me.

11You who I love, come with me and let us go to the countryside,

and sleep in one of the villages.

12And let us go early to the vineyards

to see if the grapevines have budded

and if there are blossoms on them that have opened,

and to see if the pomegranate trees are blooming,

and there I will have sexual relations with you.

13The mandrake plants are producing a fragrant scent,

and the pleasures we will experience as we express our love for each other are like choice fruits which have been stored,

new ones and old ones.

You who I love, I have reserved my love for you as if I were storing choice fruit.
