1Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? Which way has he turned? We will seek him with you. ✦ 2My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens and to gather lilies. ✦ 3I belong to my beloved and he belongs to me; he pastures his flock among the lilies. ✦ 4You are as beautiful, my darling, as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as majestic as troops with banners. ✦ 5Turn your eyes away from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down from Gilead. ✦ 6Your teeth are like a flock of sheep coming up from the washing; each has its twin, and not one of them is lost. ✦ 7Your brow behind your veil is like a slice of pomegranate. ✦ 8There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and maidens without number, ✦ 9but my dove, my perfect one, is unique, the favorite of the mother who bore her. The maidens see her and call her blessed; the queens and concubines sing her praises. ✦ 10Who is this who shines like the dawn, as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, as majestic as the stars in procession? ✦ 11I went down to the walnut grove to see the blossoms of the valley, to see if the vines were budding or the pomegranates were in bloom. ✦ 12Before I realized it, my desire had set me among the royal chariots of my people. ✦ 13Come back, come back, O Shulammite! Come back, come back, that we may gaze upon you. Why do you look at the Shulammite, as on the dance of Mahanaim? ✦
