8  Come with me from Lebanon, my bride;

come with me from Lebanon.

Depart¹ from the peak of Amana,

from the peak of Senir and Hermon,

from the dens of lions,

from the mountains of leopards.

9  You have captivated my heart, ^emy sister, my bride;

you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes,

with one jewel of your necklace.

10  How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!

How much better is your love ^fthan wine,

and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!

11  Your lips drip nectar, my bride;

^ghoney and milk are under your tongue;

the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

12  A garden locked is my sister, my bride,

a ^hspring locked, a fountain sealed.

13  Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates

with all ⁱchoicest fruits,

^jhenna with ^knard,

14  nard and saffron, ^lcalamus and cinnamon,

with all trees of frankincense,

^mmyrrh and aloes,

with all choice spices—

15  a garden fountain, a well of living water,

and flowing streams from Lebanon.
