¹ How beautiful are your feet in sandals,
    O ^(a)noble daughter!
Your rounded thighs are like ^(b)jewels,
    the work of ^(c)a master hand.
² Your navel is a rounded bowl
    that never lacks mixed wine.
Your belly is a heap of wheat,
    encircled with ^(d)lilies.
^3 (e)Your two breasts are like two fawns,
    twins of a gazelle.
⁴ Your ^(f)neck is like an ivory tower.
Your ^(g)eyes are pools in ^(h)Heshbon,
    by the gate of Bath-rabbim.
Your nose is like a tower of ⁽ⁱ⁾Lebanon,
    which looks toward ^(j)Damascus.
⁵ Your head crowns you like ^(k)Carmel,
    and your ^(l)flowing locks are like purple;
    a king is held captive in the tresses.

^6 (m)How beautiful and ⁽ⁿ⁾pleasant you are,
    O loved one, with all your delights!^[a]
7 Your stature is like a palm tree,
    and your breasts are like its clusters.
⁸ I say I will climb the palm tree
    and lay hold of its fruit.
Oh may your breasts be like ^(o)clusters of the vine,
    and the scent of your breath like apples,
⁹ and your ^(p)mouth^[b] like the best wine.

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
    gliding over lips and teeth.^[c]

^10 (q)I am my beloved's,
    ^(r)and his desire is for me.

^11 (s)Come, my beloved,
    let us go out into the fields
    and lodge in the villages;^[d]
12 let us go out early to the vineyards
    ^(t)and see whether the vines have budded,
whether ^(u)the grape blossoms have opened
    and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
^13 (v)The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
    and beside our doors are all choice fruits,
^(w)new as well as old,
    which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
