“Your (A)oils have a pleasing fragrance,
Your (B)name is like [a]purified oil;
Therefore the [b](C)maidens love you.
“Draw me after you and let us run together!
The (D)king has brought me into his chambers.”

[c]We will rejoice in you and be glad;
We will [d]extol your (E)love more than wine.
Rightly do they love you.”

[e]I am black but (F)lovely,
O (G)daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the (H)tents of (I)Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
