S.S.|6:1|-||1|Where has your beloved gone,O you most beautiful among women?
Where has your beloved turned,That we may seek him with you?
S.S.|6:2|-|My beloved has gone down to his |1a|garden,To the beds of spices,
To feed in the gardensAnd gather lilies.
S.S.|6:3|-||a|I am |1|my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine;He pastures his flock among the |b|lilies.
S.S.|6:4|-|You are as beautiful, my love, as |1|Tirzah,As lovely as |1|Jerusalem,
As |a|terrible as an |2|army with banners.
S.S.|6:5|-|Turn your |1|eyes away from me,For they overwhelm me,
|a|Your |2|hair is like a flock of goatsThat repose on Mount Gilead.
S.S.|6:6|-|Your |1|teeth are like a flock of ewesThat have come up from the washing,
All of which have borne twins,And none of them is bereaved of her young.
S.S.|6:7|-|Your |1|cheeks are like a piece of pomegranateBehind your veil.
S.S.|6:8|-|There are sixty |1|queens and eighty |1|concubinesAnd |1a|virgins without number.
S.S.|6:9|-|My |a|dove, my perfect one, is but one;She is the only one of her mother;
She is the choice one of her who bore her.The daughters saw her, and they called her blessed;
The queens and the concubines,They also praised her.
S.S.|6:10|-|Who is this woman who looks forth like the dawn,As beautiful as the |1|moon,
As clear as the |1|sun,As |a|terrible as an |2|army with banners?
S.S.|6:11|-|I went down to the |1|orchard of nutsTo see the freshness of the valley,
To see whether the vine had |a|budded,Whether the pomegranates were in bloom.
S.S.|6:12|-|Before I was aware,My soul set me among the |1|chariots of my noble people.
S.S.|6:13|-|Return, return, O |1|Shulammite;Return, return, that we may gaze at you.
Why should you gaze at the Shulammite,As upon the dance of |2a|two camps?
