This is Solomon’s Song of Songs.

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your love is more delightful than wine.
The bride
The fragrance of your perfume is pleasing;
your name is like perfume poured out.
No wonder the maidens adore you.
Take me away with you—let us hurry!
May the king bring me to his chambers.
We will rejoice and delight in you;
we will praise your love more than wine.
It is only right that they adore you.
Dark, Yet Lovely
Do not stare because I am dark,
for the sun has gazed upon me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;
they made me a keeper of the vineyards,
but my own vineyard I have neglected.

The bride
Tell me, O one I love,
where do you pasture your sheep?
Where do you rest them at midday?
Why should I be like a veiled woman
beside the flocks of your companions?
If you do not know, O fairest of women,
follow the tracks of the flock,
and graze your young goats
near the tents of the shepherds.
Question
Quick question
She answers the stares before anyone asks.
Why is she dark?
Praise and Perfume
Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments,
your neck with strings of jewels.
The friends
We will make you ornaments of gold,
studded with beads of silver.
While the king was at his table,
my perfume spread its fragrance.
My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh
resting between my breasts.
The bride
My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
in the vineyards of En-gedi.
A House of Cedar
How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how very beautiful!
Song of Solomon 1:15
Your eyes are like doves.
How handsome you are, my beloved!
Oh, how delightful!
The soft grass is our bed.
The bridegroom
The beams of our house are cedars;
our rafters are fragrant firs.
Pray
His good gift
Thank God that love is His good gift. Name before Him the people you love. Then pray for anyone who is lonely today.
