When I found the one I love.
I held him and would not let him go,
Until I had brought him to the ahouse of my mother,
And into the1 chamber of her who conceived me.
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
The Coming of Solomon
The Shulamite
Like pillars of smoke,
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
With all the merchant’s fragrant powders?
Being expert in war.
Every man has his sword on his thigh
Because of fear in the night.
Its support of gold,
Its seat of purple,
Its interior paved with love
By the daughters of Jerusalem.
And see King Solomon with the crown
With which his mother crowned him
On the day of his wedding,
The day of the gladness of his heart.
| << Song of Solomon 3:5 | Song of Solomon 3:7 >> |
