Verse 1

Your eyes are twin doves by the stream,

Your lips drip honey’s golden gleam;

Your voice is low, like harps that sigh,

Your glance—an arrow, swift to fly.


Chorus

Pomegranate cheeks, O fairest vine,

Your breath is myrrh, your touch is wine;

My heart’s undone with one small glance—

Your smile commands my soul to dance.


Verse 2

Your neck is ivory’s sculpted tower,

Your scent awakens Eden’s flower;

Your form is palm the breeze caressed,

And fruit bends sweetly to my quest.


Chorus

Pomegranate cheeks, O fairest vine,

Your breath is myrrh, your touch is wine;

My heart’s undone with one small glance—

Your smile commands my soul to dance.


Bridge

Come, let the north wind loose its song,

And draw the fragrance all night long;

Your love is fire none can tame—

I burn, and whisper still your name.


Chorus

Pomegranate cheeks, O fairest vine,

Your breath is myrrh, your touch is wine;

My heart’s undone with one small glance—

Your smile commands my soul to dance.


Chorus

Pomegranate cheeks, O fairest vine,

Your breath is myrrh, your touch is wine;

My heart’s undone with one small glance—

Your smile commands my soul to dance.
