1 Where has your lover gone, most beautiful among women? Where has your lover turned, so we may seek him with you?
2 My lover went down to his garden, to the beds of balsam to graze his flocks in the gardens and to gather lilies.
3 I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine. He browses among the lilies.
4 You are beautiful, my darling, like Tirzah, lovely 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 ewe goats descending down from Gilead.
6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes that have come up from the washing. Each of them has a twin, and none among them is missing.
