My beloved is mine, and I am his.
Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm.
Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
You have ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse.
How beautiful you are, my love; how very beautiful!
You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride.
Behold, you are beautiful, my love; behold, you are beautiful!
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it.
I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.
You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.
My dove, my perfect one, is the only one.
I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone.
