Love's Desire - Bible

Kiss me on my lips,
More delightful than sips
Of wine is your single kiss.
Like perfume is spreading
Everywhere your name,
That’s why maidens love you.

I will follow you eagerly.
Take me to your chambers please,
With you I wish to rejoice

Exult and extol your love,
Love finer than wine,
Love beyond love.
