When the day’s cool breeze comes up
and the shadows lengthen,
I will get myself to the mountain of myrrh
to the hill of frankincense.
Everything about you is beautiful, my love;
you are without a flaw.

down from the lions’ lairs
and the leopard-haunted hills.

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,(E)
    come with me from Lebanon.

    from the top of Senir,(F) the summit of Hermon,(G)
from the lions’ dens
    and the mountain haunts of leopards.
