Song of Solomon 8:2-3, 5, 11, 13-14 Song of Solomon 7:1, 5-7, 10-11 “How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O prince’s daughter! The curves of your hips are like jewels, The work of the hands of an artist. “I would lead you and bring you Into the house of my mother, who used to instruct me; I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranates. “Let his left hand be under my head And his right hand embrace me.” “Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel, And the flowing hair of your head like purple threads; I, the king, am held captive by your tresses. “Who is this coming up from the wilderness Leaning upon her beloved?” “Under the apple tree I awakened you to my love; There your mother was in labor with you, There she was in labor and gave you birth. “How beautiful and how delightful you are, My love, with all your delights! “Your stature is like that of a palm tree And your breasts like its clusters of dates. “I am my beloved’s, And his desire is for me. “Come, my beloved, let us go out into the country, Let us spend the night in the villages. “Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; He entrusted the vineyard to caretakers; Each one was to bring him a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit. “O you who sit in the gardens, My companions are listening for your voice— Let me hear it.” “Hurry, my beloved and come quickly, Like a gazelle or a young stag taking me home On the mountains of spices.”
