Song of Solomon 7:1-10

“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. “Your navel is a round goblet Which never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is like a heap of wheat Surrounded with lilies. “Your two breasts are like two fawns, The twins of a gazelle. “Your neck is like a tower of ivory, Your eyes the [sparkling] pools of Heshbon By the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looks toward Damascus. “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. “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 said, ‘I will climb the palm tree; I will grasp its branches. Let your breasts be like clusters of the grapevine, And the fragrance of your breath like apples, And your kisses like the best wine!’ ” “ I t goes down smoothly and sweetly for my beloved, Gliding gently over his lips while he sleeps. ¶“I am my beloved’s, And his desire is for me. [John 10:28]
