1. Where has your beloved gone,O fairest among women?Where has your beloved turned aside,that we may seek him with you?
2. My beloved has gone down to his garden,to the beds of spices,to feed his flock in the gardens,and to gather lilies.
3. I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine;he feeds his flock among the lilies.
4. You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love,comely as Jerusalem,awesome as an army with banners!
5. Turn your eyes away from me,for they overwhelm me!Your hair is like a flock of goatsstreaming down from Gilead.
6. your teeth are like a flock of ewesthat have come up from the washing;all of them bear twins; not one among them has lost its young;
7. your cheeks are like halvesof a pomegranate behind your veil.
8. There are sixty queensand eighty concubines,and virgins without number.
