Love and Beauty

How beautiful you are.
How beautiful you are.
Your eyes are doves behind your veil.
Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down a mointain.
Your teeth are like a flock of ewes to be shorn that comes up from the washing.
All of them big with twins.
None of them barren. Like a scarlet strand.
Your lips and your mouth.
Lovely.
Like pomegranate halves.
Your cheeks behind your veil.
Like a tower.
Your neck built in courses.
A thousand shields hanging upon it.
All the armor.
Your breast are like two fawns.
Twins of a gazelle.
Feeding among the lillies.
Until the day grows cool and the shadows flee.
You are beautiful in everyway.
There is no flaw in you.
You have ravished my heart.
You have ravished my heart with one glance of your eyes.
How beautiful is your love.
How much better is your love than wine and the frangrance of your perfume than other spices.
Your lips drip honey.
Honey and milk are under your tongue.
Beautiful are you.
Fair as fearsome as celestial visions.
Turn your eyes away from me.
For they stir me up.
Who is this that comes forth like the dawn.
Beautiful as the white moon.
Pure as the blazing sun.
Fearsome as celestial visions.
Set me as a seal upon your heart.
As a seal upon your arm.
For love is strong as death longing is feirce as sheol.
Its arrows are arrows of fire.
Flames of desire.
Deep waters cannot quench love.
Nor rivers sweep it away.
Where one to offer all the wealth of his house for love.
He would be utterly despised.
