Scripture Text: Song of Solomon 6:4-7 (22a, page 185-186)
Verses 4-7
You are as fair, my darling companion, as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as awe-inspiring as bannered hosts. Turn your eyes from me, because they arouse me. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of ewes which have come up from the washing, each one bearing twins and bereaved on not one of them. Like a sliced opening of a pomegranate are your parted lips behind your veil.
