Song of Solomon 7 — AAB

Admiration by the Bridegroom

7Verse 1How beautiful are your sandaled feet,O daughter of the prince!The curves of your thighs are like jewels,the handiwork of a master.^{Verse 2}Your navel is a rounded goblet;it never lacks blended wine.Your waist is a mound of wheatencircled by the lilies.^{Verse 3}Your breasts are like two fawns,twins of a gazelle.^{Verse 4}Your neck is like a towermade of ivory;your eyes are like the pools of Heshbonby the gate of Bath-rabbim;your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,facing toward Damascus.^{Verse 5}Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,the hair of your head like purple threads;
the king is captured in your tresses.^{Verse 6}How fair and pleasant you are,O love, with your delights!^{Verse 7}Your stature is like a palm tree;your breasts are clusters of fruit.^{Verse 8}I said, “I will climb the palm tree;I will take hold of its fruit.”May your breasts be like clusters of the vine,the fragrance of your breath like apples,
^{Verse 9}and your mouth⁺like the finest wine.The Bride
May it flow smoothly to my beloved,gliding gently over lips and teeth.^{+Verse 10}I belong to my beloved,and his desire is for me.^{Verse 11}Come, my beloved,let us go to the countryside;
let us spend the night among the wildflowers.^{+Verse 12}Let us go early to the vineyardsto see if the vine has budded,if the blossom has opened,if the pomegranates are in bloom—
there I will give you my love.^{Verse 13}The mandrakes send forth a fragrance,and at our door is every delicacy,new as well as old,that I have treasured up for you, my beloved.
