Where has your beloved gone,
O most beautiful among women?
Where has your beloved turned,
that we may seek him with you?
Together in the Garden of Love
2She
My beloved has gone down to his garden
to the beds of spices,
to graze(1) in the gardens
and to gather lilies. 3I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine;
he grazes among the lilies.
Solomon and His Bride Delight in Each Other
4He
You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love,
lovely as Jerusalem,
awesome as an army with banners. 5Turn away your eyes from me,
for they overwhelm me—
Your hair is like a flock of goats
leaping down the slopes of Gilead. 6Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
that have come up from the washing;
all of them bear twins;
not one among them has lost its young. 7Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate
behind your veil. 8There are sixty queens and eighty concubines,
and virgins without number. 9My dove, my perfect one, is the only one,
the only one of her mother,
pure to her who bore her.
The young women saw her and called her blessed;
the queens and concubines also, and they praised her. 10“Who is this who looks down like the dawn,
beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun,
awesome as an army with banners?” 11She
I went down to the nut orchard
to look at the blossoms of the valley,
to see whether the vines had budded,
whether the pomegranates were in bloom. 12Before I was aware, my desire set me
among the chariots of my kinsman, a prince.(1) 13Others
(1) Return, return, O Shulammite,
return, return, that we may look upon you.
He
Why should you look upon the Shulammite,
as upon a dance before two armies?(2)
