O My love, you are as beautiful as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as bannered armies.

Turn away your eyes from Me, because they have overcome Me. Your hair is like a flock of goats that lie down from Gilead.

Your teeth are like a flock of ewes which come up from the washing place, of which they all are bearing twins, and a bereaved one is not among them.

Your temples behind your veil are like a piece of pomegranate.

Sixty of them are queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.

But My dove, My perfect one is one alone . She is the only one to her mother; she is the choice of the one who bore her. The daughters saw her and calledher blessed; the queens and the concubinessaw her, and they praised her.

Who is she who looks down like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun, awesome as bannered armies ?
