*henna: an Old World plant, prized for its fragrant yellow and white flowers. (Song of Songs 1:!4)
1 Thy name is sweet as ointment pourèd forth;
Better Thy love than wine, O draw Thou me!
2 He's my Beloved, I am His own love;
He draweth me, pursue I after Him.
3 Bathe in His love, and of His fatness taste,
Lie on His breast, His sweetness there enjoy;
4 Oh, my Beloved's mine, and I am His;
I am a lily and my Shepherd He;
5 Myrrh of the death with Him and frankincense,
The resurrection, permeate my heart;
6 I'd be to Him a dove that's undefiled,
As a pure lily in His presence be,
7 Fair as the moon, conformed to Him I'd be,
Clear as the sun, unto His stature grown;
8 Thou art my life, and I Thine image real;
Love in such union is as death most strong,
