Song of Solomon 4:7
5 Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle grazing among the lilies.
6 Before the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will make my way to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of frankincense.
You are altogether beautiful, my darling; in you there is no flaw.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come with me from Lebanon! Descend from the peak of Amana, from the summits of Senir and Hermon, from the dens of the lions, from the mountains of the leopards.
9 You have captured my heart, my sister, my bride; you have stolen my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your neck.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
