(A)Until the day grows cool
    and the shadows flee,
    I shall go to the mountain of myrrh,
    to the hill of frankincense.[a]
You are beautiful in every way, my friend,
    there is no flaw in you![b]
With me from Lebanon, my bride!
    With me from Lebanon, come!
Descend from the peak of Amana,
    from the peak of Senir and Hermon,[c]
From the lairs of lions,
    from the leopards’ heights.
