Song of Solomon 4:1

Behold, thou art fair, My love, so the Bridegroom tells the Church; behold, thou art fair; thou hast dove's eyes, or, "thy eyes are doves," gleaming in iridescent beauty, within thy locks, or "behind the veil"; thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear, or repose, from Mount Gilead, the country east of Jordan known for its fine cattle. The point of comparison is to he found in the glossy blackness and luxuriant abundance of Shulamith's hair as well as in its silky softness and delicacy.
