1Verse 1The song of songs, which is Solomon's.Verse 2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.Verse 3Because of the savor of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.Verse 4Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.Verse 5I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.Verse 6Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard have I not kept.Verse 7Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?Verse 8If thou knowest not, O thou fairest among women, go forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds tents.Verse 9I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.Verse 10Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels , thy neck with chains of gold .Verse 11We will make for thee borders of gold with studs of silver.Verse 12While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth its smell.Verse 13A bundle of myrrh is my well beloved to me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.Verse 14My beloved is to me as a cluster of camphor in the vineyards of En-gedi.Verse 15Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.Verse 16Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yes, pleasant: also our bed is green.Verse 17The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
