# Chapter 7
|
||
1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
|
||
O prince’s daughter!
|
||
The curves of your thighs are like jewels,
|
||
The work of the hands of a skillful workman.
|
||
2 Your navel is a rounded goblet;
|
||
It lacks no blended beverage.
|
||
Your waist is a heap of wheat
|
||
Set about with lilies.
|
||
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns,
|
||
Twins of a gazelle.
|
||
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower,
|
||
Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon
|
||
By the gate of Bath Rabbim.
|
||
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
|
||
Which looks toward Damascus.
|
||
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel,
|
||
And the hair of your head is like purple;
|
||
A king is held captive by your tresses.
|
||
6 How fair and how pleasant you are,
|
||
O love, with your delights!
|
||
7 This stature of yours is like a palm tree,
|
||
And your breasts like its clusters.
|
||
8 I said, “I will go up to the palm tree,
|
||
I will take hold of its branches.”
|
||
Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
|
||
The fragrance of your breath like apples,
|
||
9 And the roof of your mouth like the best wine.
|
||
The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved,
|
||
Moving gently the lips of sleepers.
|
||
10 I am my beloved’s,
|
||
And his desire is toward me.
|
||
11 Come, my beloved,
|
||
Let us go forth to the field;
|
||
Let us lodge in the villages.
|
||
12 Let us get up early to the vineyards;
|
||
Let us see if the vine has budded,
|
||
Whether the grape blossoms are open,
|
||
And the pomegranates are in bloom.
|
||
There I will give you my love.
|
||
13 The mandrakes give off a fragrance,
|
||
And at our gates are pleasant fruits,
|
||
All manner, new and old,
|
||
Which I have laid up for you, my beloved. |
