Who is this whose glance is like
the dawn?
She is beautiful and bright,
as dazzling as the sun or
moon.
I' ve come down among the
almond trees
to see the young plant in the
valley,
and the blossoms on the
pomegranate trees.
Her eyes are beautiful as doves
by a flowing brook.
Her body is like smooth ivory,
Cheeks as lovely as a garden
that is full of herbs and spices.
Her lips are like lilies,
wet with liquid myrrh.
Even queen and concubines sings
her praises.
