Your neck is long and thin
    like David’s tower.
That tower was built to be decorated[a]
    with a thousand shields on its walls,
    with the shields of powerful soldiers.
Your breasts are like twin fawns,
    like twins of a gazelle,
    feeding among the lilies.
I will go to that mountain of myrrh
    and to that hill of frankincense
while the day breathes its last breath,
    and the shadows run away.
