Song of Solomon 6:5

3 I belong to my beloved and he belongs to me; he pastures his flock among the lilies.

4 You are as beautiful, my darling, as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as majestic as troops with banners.

Turn your eyes away from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down from Gilead.

6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep coming up from the washing; each has its twin, and not one of them is lost.

7 Your brow behind your veil is like a slice of pomegranate.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
