Man

How beautiful you are, my darling.
How very beautiful!
Behind your veil,
your eyes are doves.(A)

streaming down Mount Gilead.(B)
Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep

Your lips are like a scarlet cord,(D)
and your mouth[b] is lovely.
Behind your veil,
your brow[c] is like a slice of pomegranate.(E)
