Until the day breaks[a] and the shadows flee,
    I’ll go to the mountain of myrrh[b]
        and to the hill of frankincense.[c]
My darling, you are altogether beautiful
    and there is no blemish in you.

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
    come with me from Lebanon.
May you journey from the top of Amana,
    from the tops of Senir and Hermon,
from the dens of lions,
    from the mountain lairs of leopards.
