Current 93 - The Song Of Solomon And How She Sang It To Me

I am comely, because I'm black
As the tents of Kedar,
As the Solomon's veil.
Because the sun has scorched my skin
As the cedar trees of Lebanon.

My beloved is onto me
As a cluster of campfires
In the vineyards of En Gedi.
As the apple tree
Deep in the orchard,
So is my beloved
Among the daughters.

Thou art is fair as Gilead.
O prince's daughter! O fountain of life!
Behold, how pleasant perfume of night
Of a cedar, myrrh and a frankincense.

For now the winter rain is past,
That flower appears upon the earth.
The time of singing birds has come
And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.

I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
As the lily among thorns
So is my beloved.
I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
As the lily among thorns
So is my beloved.
