# Song of Solomon 4 [[Song of Solomon 3|←]] • [[Song of Solomon 5|→]] --- ### 1 Behold, thou fair, my love; behold, thou fair; thou doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead. ### 2 Thy teeth like a flock shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none barren among them. ### 3 Thy lips like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech comely: thy temples like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks. ### 4 Thy neck like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men. ### 5 Thy two breasts like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies. ### 6 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense. ### 7 Thou all fair, my love; no spot in thee. ### 8 Come with me from Lebanon, spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards. ### 9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. ### 10 How fair is thy love, my sister, spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices! ### 11 Thy lips, O spouse, drop the honeycomb: honey and milk under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments like the smell of Lebanon. ### 12 A garden inclosed my sister, spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. ### 13 Thy plants an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, ### 14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: ### 15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. ### 16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
