Song of Solomon 5:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ His face is bronzed and smooth;
    his hair is wavy,
    black as a raven.
¹² His eyes are as beautiful as doves by a flowing brook,
    doves washed in milk and standing by the stream.^[a]
13 His cheeks are as lovely as a garden
    that is full of herbs and spices.
His lips are like lilies,
    wet with liquid myrrh.
