¶Lyrics / Text

Quam pulchra es, et quam decora, carissima, in deliciis! Statura tua assimilata est palmæ, et ubera tua botris. Dixi: Ascendam in palmam, et apprehendam fructus ejus; et erunt ubera tua sicut botri vineæ, et odores tui sicut odor malorum. Guttur tuum sicut vinum optimum, dignum dilecto meo ad potandum, et labiis et dentibus ejus ad ruminandum.
