The ^(F1)Song of ^(C1)Songs, which is Solomon's.

"May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your ^(C1)love is ^(F1)sweeter than wine.

-"Your ^(C1)oils have a pleasing fragrance, Your ^(C2)name is like ^(F1)purified oil; Therefore the ^(F2)(C3)young women love you.

-"Draw me after you and let's run together! The ^(C1)king has brought me into his chambers." The Chorus "We will rejoice in you and be joyful; We will praise your ^(C2)love more than wine. Rightly do they love you."

"I am black and ^(C1)beautiful, You ^(C2)daughters of Jerusalem, Like the ^(C3)tents of ^(C4)Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.

-"Do not stare at me because I am ^(F1)dark, For the sun has tanned me. My ^(C1)mother's sons were angry with me; They made me ^(C2)caretaker of the vineyards, But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.

-"Tell me, you ^(C1)whom my soul loves, Where do you ^(C2)pasture your flock, Where do you have it ^(C3)lie down at noon? For why should I be like one who ^(F1)veils herself Beside the flocks of your ^(C4)companions?"

"If you yourself do not know, ^(C1)Most beautiful among women, Go out on the trail of the flock, And pasture your young goats By the tents of the shepherds.

"^(F1)To me, ^(C1)my darling, you are like My ^(C2)mare among the chariots of Pharaoh.

-"Your ^(C1)cheeks are delightful with jewelry, Your neck with strings of ^(C2)beads."

"We will make for you jewelry of gold With beads of silver."

"While the king was at his table, My ^(F1)(C1)perfume gave forth its fragrance.

-"My beloved is to me a pouch of ^(C1)myrrh Which lies all night between my breasts.

-"My beloved is to me a cluster of ^(C1)henna blossoms In the vineyards of ^(C2)Engedi."

"^(F1)(C1)How beautiful you are, my darling, ^(F1)How beautiful you are! Your ^(C2)eyes are like doves."

"^(F1)How handsome you are, ^(C1)my beloved, And so delightful! Indeed, our bed is luxuriant!

-"The beams of our house are ^(C1)cedars, Our rafters, ^(C2)junipers.
