+Book 22 Song of Solomon
+001:001 The Song of songs, which is Solomon's. Beloved
+001:002 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love
+ is better than wine.
+001:003 Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured forth,
+ therefore the virgins love you.
+001:004 Take me away with you. Let us hurry. The king has brought me
+ into his chambers. Friends We will be glad and rejoice in you.
+ We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They are
+ right to love you.
+001:005 I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem,
+ like Kedar's tents, like Solomon's curtains.
+001:006 Don't stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me.
+ My mother's sons were angry with me. They made me keeper
+ of the vineyards. I haven't kept my own vineyard.
+001:007 Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock,
+ where you rest them at noon; For why should I be as one who is
+ veiled beside the flocks of your companions? Lover
+001:008 If you don't know, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks
+ of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds' tents.
+001:009 I have compared you, my love, to a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
+001:010 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with
+ strings of jewels.
+001:011 We will make you earrings of gold, with studs of silver.
+ Beloved
+001:012 While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.
+001:013 My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh, that lies between my breasts.
+001:014 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards
+ of En Gedi. Lover
+001:015 Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful.
+ Your eyes are doves. Beloved
+001:016 Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our
+ couch is verdant. Lover
+001:017 The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.
+ Beloved
+002:001 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. Lover
+002:002 As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
+ Beloved
+002:003 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved
+ among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight,
+ his fruit was sweet to my taste.
+002:004 He brought me to the banquet hall. His banner over me is love.
+002:005 Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am
+ faint with love.
+002:006 His left hand is under my head. His right hand embraces me.
+002:007 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by
+ the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love,
+ until it so desires.
+002:008 The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes, leaping on the mountains,
+ skipping on the hills.
+002:009 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart. Behold, he stands
+ behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances
+ through the lattice.
+002:010 My beloved spoke, and said to me, "Rise up, my love,
+ my beautiful one, and come away.
+002:011 For, behold, the winter is past. The rain is over and gone.
+002:012 The flowers appear on the earth. The time of the singing has come,
+ and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
+002:013 The fig tree ripens her green figs. The vines are in blossom.
+ They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
+ and come away." Lover
+002:014 My dove in the clefts of the rock, In the hiding places of
+ the mountainside, Let me see your face. Let me hear your voice;
+ for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
+002:015 Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards;
+ for our vineyards are in blossom. Beloved
+002:016 My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses among the lilies.
+002:017 Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved,
+ and be like a roe or a young hart on the mountains of Bether.
+003:001 By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves.
+ I sought him, but I didn't find him.
+003:002 I will get up now, and go about the city; in the streets
+ and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves.
+ I sought him, but I didn't find him.
+003:003 The watchmen who go about the city found me; "Have you seen
+ him whom my soul loves?"
+003:004 I had scarcely passed from them, when I found him whom my soul loves.
+ I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him
+ into my mother's house, into the chamber of her who conceived me.
+003:005 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by
+ the hinds of the field, that you not stir up, nor awaken love,
+ until it so desires.
+003:006 Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars
+ of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all spices
+ of the merchant?
+003:007 Behold, it is Solomon's carriage! Sixty mighty men are around it,
+ of the mighty men of Israel.
+003:008 They all handle the sword, and are expert in war.
+ Every man has his sword on his thigh, because of fear
+ in the night.
+003:009 King Solomon made himself a carriage of the wood of Lebanon.
+003:010 He made its pillars of silver, its bottom of gold,
+ its seat of purple, its midst being paved with love,
+ from the daughters of Jerusalem.
+003:011 Go forth, you daughters of Zion, and see king Solomon,
+ with the crown with which his mother has crowned him,
+ in the day of his weddings, in the day of the gladness
+ of his heart. Lover
+004:001 Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful.
+ Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is as a flock
+ of goats, that descend from Mount Gilead.
+004:002 Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock, which have come
+ up from the washing, where every one of them has twins.
+ None is bereaved among them.
+004:003 Your lips are like scarlet thread. Your mouth is lovely.
+ Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
+004:004 Your neck is like David's tower built for an armory, whereon a
+ thousand shields hang, all the shields of the mighty men.
+004:005 Your two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe,
+ which feed among the lilies.
+004:006 Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away, I will go
+ to the mountain of myrrh, to the hill of frankincense.
+004:007 You are all beautiful, my love. There is no spot in you.
+004:008 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon.
+ Look from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon,
+ from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
+004:009 You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride.
+ You have ravished my heart with one of your eyes, with one
+ chain of your neck.
+004:010 How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!
+ How much better is your love than wine! The fragrance of your
+ perfumes than all manner of spices!
+004:011 Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk
+ are under your tongue. The smell of your garments is like
+ the smell of Lebanon.
+004:012 A locked up garden is my sister, my bride; a locked up spring,
+ a sealed fountain.
+004:013 Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits:
+ henna with spikenard plants,
+004:014 spikenard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind
+ of incense tree; myrrh and aloes, with all the best spices,
+004:015 a fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, flowing streams
+ from Lebanon. Beloved
+004:016 Awake, north wind; and come, you south! Blow on my garden,
+ that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden,
+ and taste his precious fruits. Lover
+005:001 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride.
+ I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my
+ honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk.
+ Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
+ Beloved
+005:002 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice
+ of my beloved who knocks: "Open to me, my sister, my love,
+ my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew,
+ and my hair with the dampness of the night."
+005:003 I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on?
+ I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
+005:004 My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening.
+ My heart pounded for him.
+005:005 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh,
+ my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
+005:006 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left; and had gone away.
+ My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I
+ didn't find him. I called him, but he didn't answer.
+005:007 The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me.
+ They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak
+ away from me.
+005:008 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved,
+ that you tell him that I am faint with love. Friends
+005:009 How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest
+ among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved,
+ that you do so adjure us? Beloved
+005:010 My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
+005:011 His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy,
+ black as a raven.
+005:012 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk,
+ mounted like jewels.
+005:013 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes.
+ His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
+005:014 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl.
+ His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
+005:015 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold.
+ His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
+005:016 His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely.
+ This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.
+ Friends
+006:001 Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women?
+ Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?
+ Beloved
+006:002 My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices,
+ to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
+006:003 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine. He browses
+ among the lilies,
+006:004 You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem,
+ awesome as an army with banners.
+006:005 Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me.
+ Your hair is like a flock of goats, that lie along
+ the side of Gilead.
+006:006 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up
+ from the washing; of which every one has twins; none is
+ bereaved among them.
+006:007 Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.
+006:008 There are sixty queens, eighty concubines, and virgins
+ without number.
+006:009 My dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is her mother's
+ only daughter. She is the favorite one of her who bore her.
+ The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; the queens
+ and the concubines, and they praised her.
+006:010 Who is she who looks forth as the morning, beautiful as the moon,
+ clear as the sun, and awesome as an army with banners?
+006:011 I went down into the nut tree grove, to see the green
+ plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded,
+ and the pomegranates were in flower.
+006:012 Without realizing it, my desire set me with my royal
+ people's chariots. Friends
+006:013 Return, return, Shulammite! Return, return, that we may gaze
+ at you. Lover Why do you desire to gaze at the Shulammite,
+ as at the dance of Mahanaim?
+007:001 How beautiful are your feet in sandals, prince's daughter!
+ Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands
+ of a skillful workman.
+007:002 Your body is like a round goblet, no mixed wine is wanting.
+ Your waist is like a heap of wheat, set about with lilies.
+007:003 Your two breasts are like two fawns, that are twins of a roe.
+007:004 Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are like the pools
+ in Heshbon by the gate of Bathrabbim. Your nose is like
+ the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus.
+007:005 Your head on you is like Carmel. The hair of your head like purple.
+ The king is held captive in its tresses.
+007:006 How beautiful and how pleasant you are, love, for delights!
+007:007 This, your stature, is like a palm tree, your breasts
+ like its fruit.
+007:008 I said, "I will climb up into the palm tree. I will take hold
+ of its fruit." Let your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
+ the smell of your breath like apples, Beloved
+007:009 Your mouth like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for
+ my beloved, gliding through the lips of those who are asleep.
+007:010 I am my beloved's. His desire is toward me.
+007:011 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field.
+ Let us lodge in the villages.
+007:012 Let's go early up to the vineyards. Let's see whether the vine
+ has budded, its blossom is open, and the pomegranates are in flower.
+ There I will give you my love.
+007:013 The mandrakes give forth fragrance. At our doors are all
+ kinds of precious fruits, new and old, which I have stored
+ up for you, my beloved.
+008:001 Oh that you were like my brother, who sucked the breasts
+ of my mother! If I found you outside, I would kiss you;
+ yes, and no one would despise me.
+008:002 I would lead you, bringing you into my mother's house,
+ who would instruct me. I would have you drink spiced wine,
+ of the juice of my pomegranate.
+008:003 His left hand would be under my head. His right hand
+ would embrace me.
+008:004 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up,
+ nor awaken love, until it so desires. Friends
+008:005 Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, leaning on
+ her beloved? Under the apple tree I aroused you.
+ There your mother conceived you. There she was in labor
+ and bore you.
+008:006 Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm;
+ for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol.
+ Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Yahweh.
+008:007 Many waters can't quench love, neither can floods drown it.
+ If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love,
+ he would be utterly scorned. Friends
+008:008 We have a little sister. She has no breasts. What shall we
+ do for our sister in the day when she is to be spoken for?
+008:009 If she is a wall, we will build on her a turret of silver.
+ if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
+ Beloved
+008:010 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers, then I was in his eyes
+ like one who found peace.
+008:011 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon. He leased out the vineyard
+ to keepers. Each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver
+ for its fruit.
+008:012 My own vineyard is before me. The thousand are for you, Solomon;
+ two hundred for those who tend its fruit. Lover
+008:013 You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance,
+ let me hear your voice! Beloved
+008:014 Come away, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag
+ on the mountains of spices!

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:

+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
