6[Young Women of Jerusalem] Where has your lover gone, O woman of rare beauty? Which way did he turn so we can help you find him?H1730H1980H3303H802H1730H6437H1245 2[Young Woman] My lover has gone down to his garden, to his spice beds, to browse in the gardens and gather the lilies.H1730H3381H1588H6170H1314H7462H1588H3950H7799 3I am my lover’s, and my lover is mine. He browses among the lilies.H1730H1730H7462H7799 4[Young Man] You are beautiful, my darling, like the lovely city of Tirzah. Yes, as beautiful as Jerusalem, as majestic as an army with billowing banners.H3303H7474H8656H5000H3389H366H1713 5Turn your eyes away, for they overpower me. Your hair falls in waves, like a flock of goats winding down the slopes of Gilead.H5437H5869H1992H7292H8181H5739H5795H1570H1568 6Your teeth are as white as sheep that are freshly washed. Your smile is flawless, each tooth matched with its twin.H8127H5739H7353H5927H7367H8382H7909 7Your cheeks are like rosy pomegranates behind your veil.H6400H7416H7541H1157H6777 8Even among sixty queens and eighty concubines and countless young women,H8346H4436H8084H6370H5959H4557 9I would still choose my dove, my perfect one—the favorite of her mother, dearly loved by the one who bore her. The young women see her and praise her; even queens and royal concubines sing her praises.H3123H8535H259H259H517H1249H3205H1323H7200H833H4436H6370H1984 10“Who is this, arising like the dawn, as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, as majestic as an army with billowing banners?”H8259H7837H3303H3842H1249H2535H366H1713 11I went down to the grove of walnut trees and out to the valley to see the new spring growth, to see whether the grapevines had budded or the pomegranates were in bloom.H3381H1594H93H7200H3H5158H7200H1612H6524H7416H5132 12Before I realized it, I found myself in the royal chariot with my beloved.H3045H5315H7760H4818H5993 13[Young Women of Jerusalem] Return, return to us, O maid of Shulam. Come back, come back, that we may see you again. [Young Man] Why do you stare at this young woman of Shulam, as she moves so gracefully between two lines of dancers?H7725H7725H7759H7725H7725H2372H2372H7759H4246H4264
