Bride:

10 [a]My beloved is radiant and ruddy,
    one who would stand out in a group of ten thousand.
11 His head is golden, of the purest gold;
    his hair is like palm branches,
    black as the raven.
12 His eyes are like doves[b]
    by water streams,
bathed in milk,
    and mounted like jewels.
