61Where has your beloved gone, you fairest among women?Where has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you? Beloved+
The Bride
2My beloved has gone down to his garden,to the beds of spices,to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.+3I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.He browses among the lilies,+
The Bridegroom
4You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah,lovely as Jerusalem,awesome as an army with banners.+5Turn away your eyes from me,for they have overcome me.Your hair is like a flock of goats,that lie along the side of Gilead.+6Your teeth are like a flock of ewes,which have come up from the washing;of which every one has twins;no one is bereaved among them.+7Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.+8There are sixty queens, eighty concubines,and virgins without number.+9My dove, my perfect one, is unique.She is her mother’s only daughter.She is the favorite one of her who bore her.The daughters saw her, and called her blessed;the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.+

10Who is she who looks out as the morning,beautiful as the moon,clear as the sun,and awesome as an army with banners?+
The Bridegroom
11I went down into the nut tree grove,to see the green plants of the valley,to see whether the vine budded,and the pomegranates were in flower.+12Without realizing it,my desire set me with my royal people’s chariots. Friends+

13Return, return, Shulammite!Return, return, that we may gaze at you. Lover Why do you desire to gaze at the Shulammite,as at the dance of Mahanaim?+
