1:1   The most beautiful of songs, by Solomon.

1:2   Your lips cover me with kisses; your love is better than wine.

1:3   There is a fragrance about you; the sound of your name recalls it. No woman could keep from loving you.

1:4   Take me with you, and we'll run away; be my king and take me to your room. We will be happy together, drink deep, and lose ourselves in love. No wonder all women love you!

1:5   Women of Jerusalem, I am dark but beautiful, dark as the desert tents of Kedar, but beautiful as the draperies in Solomon's palace.

1:6   Don't look down on me because of my color, because the sun has tanned me. My brothers were angry with me and made me work in the vineyard. I had no time to care for myself.

1:7   Tell me, my love, Where will you lead your flock to graze? Where will they rest from the noonday sun? Why should I need to look for you among the flocks of the other shepherds?

1:8   Don't you know the place, loveliest of women? Go and follow the flock; find pasture for your goats near the tents of the shepherds.

1:9   You, my love, excite men as a mare excites the stallions of Pharaoh's chariots.

1:10   Your hair is beautiful upon your cheeks and falls along your neck like jewels.

1:11   But we will make for you a chain of gold with ornaments of silver.

1:12   My king was lying on his couch, and my perfume filled the air with fragrance.

1:13   My lover has the scent of myrrh as he lies upon my breasts.

1:14   My lover is like the wild flowers that bloom in the vineyards at Engedi.

1:15   How beautiful you are, my love; how your eyes shine with love!

1:16   How handsome you are, my dearest; how you delight me! The green grass will be our bed;

1:17   the cedars will be the beams of our house, and the cypress trees the ceiling.
