Chapter 6

1

 

  Whither hath thy beloved gone, O fair among women? Whither hath thy beloved turned, And we seek him with thee? 

 

 


2

 

  My beloved went down to his garden, To the beds of the spice, To delight himself in the gardens, and to gather lilies. 

 

 


3

 

  I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] mine, Who is delighting himself among the lilies. 

 

 


4

 

  Fair [art] thou, my friend, as Tirzah, Comely as Jerusalem, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts. 

 

 


5

 

  Turn round thine eyes from before me, Because they have made me proud. Thy hair [is] as a row of the goats, That have shone from Gilead, 

 

 


6

 

  Thy teeth as a row of the lambs, That have come up from the washing, Because all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved one is not among them. 

 

 


7

 

  As the work of the pomegranate [is] thy temple behind thy veil. 

 

 


8

 

  Sixty are queens, and eighty concubines, And virgins without number. 

 

 


9

 

  One is my dove, my perfect one, One she [is] of her mother, The choice one she [is] of her that bare her, Daughters saw, and pronounce her happy, Queens and concubines, and they praise her. 

 

 


10

 

  'Who [is] this that is looking forth as morning, Fair as the moon -- clear as the sun, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts?' 

 

 


11

 

  Unto a garden of nuts I went down, To look on the buds of the valley, To see whither the vine had flourished, The pomegranates had blossomed -- 

 

 


12

 

  I knew not my soul, It made me -- chariots of my people Nadib. 

 

 


13

 

  Return, return, O Shulammith! Return, return, and we look upon thee. What do ye see in Shulammith?
