He Speaks to Her

My darling, you are as beautiful as Tirzah,[a]
    as pleasant as Jerusalem,
    as awesome as the stars in the sky.[b]
Don’t look at me!
    Your eyes excite me too much!
And your hair is long and flowing,
    like little goats dancing down the slopes of Mount Gilead.
Your teeth are white like ewes[c]
    just coming from their bath.
They all give birth to twins.
    Not one of them has lost a baby.
