Translation by Bible or other Sacred Texts
My Love
Language: English  after the Latin
You are wholly beautiful, my love, Beautiful and without blemish. You ravish my heart With a single one of your glances. Your lips are as a thread of scarlet, Honey and milk Are under your tongue. The scent of your garments Is the scent of Lebanon And of cedar.
