1 Which way did your lover go,you who are the most beautiful of women?Which way did your lover turn,that we may look for him along with you?[Woman]
2 My lover has gone down to his garden,to the fragrant plantings,to graze in the gardens,to gather the lilies.
3 I belong to my lover and my lover belongs to me—the one grazing among the lilies.[Man]
4 You are as beautiful, my dearest, as Tirzah,as lovely as Jerusalem,formidable as those lofty sights.
5 Turn your eyes away from me,for they overwhelm me!Your hair is like a flock of goatsas they stream down from Gilead.
6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewesas they come up from the washing pool—all of them perfectly matched,not one of them lacks its twin.
