Song of Solomon 1:16
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how very beautiful! Your eyes are like doves.
How handsome you are, my beloved! Oh, how delightful! The soft grass is our bed.
17 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are fragrant firs.
