Song of Songs 1:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³    your anointing oils are fragrant;
your name is perfume poured out;
    therefore the maidens love you.^(A)
⁴Draw me after you; let us make haste.
    The king has brought me into his chambers.
We will exult and rejoice in you;
    we will extol your love more than wine;
    rightly do they love you.^(B)

⁵I am black and beautiful,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
like the tents of Kedar,
like the curtains of Solomon.^(C)
