001:001
The song of songs, which is Solomon's.

001:002
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.

001:003
Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.

001:004
Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

001:005
I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.

001:006
Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.

001:007
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?

001:008
If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.

001:009
I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots.

001:010
Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.

001:011
We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.

001:012
While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.

001:013
A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.

001:014
My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.

001:015
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.

001:016
Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.

001:017
The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
