Song of Songs 5:11-13

New Catholic Bible

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^[a]
    by water streams,
bathed in milk,
    and mounted like jewels.
¹³ His cheeks are like beds of spices
    pouring forth fragrant scents.
His lips are like lilies,^[b]
    distilling choice myrrh.
