Song of Solomon 1:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Your fragrance is sweet;
        your very name is perfume.
        That’s why the young women love you.
⁴ Take me along with you; let’s run!

My king has brought me into his chambers, saying,
“Let’s exult and rejoice in you.
Let’s savor your loving more than wine.
        No wonder they all love you!”

⁵ Dark am I, and lovely, daughters of Jerusalem—
        like the black tents of the Kedar nomads,
        like the curtains of Solomon’s palace.
