LSV SNG Chapter 6

6 To where has your beloved gone,
O beautiful among women? To where has your beloved turned,
And we seek him with you? 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 You [are] beautiful, my friend, as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem,
Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts. 5 Turn around your eyes from before me,
Because they have made me proud. Your hair [is] as a row of the goats,
That have shone from Gilead, 6 Your 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] your temple behind your veil. 8 Sixty are queens, and eighty concubines,
And virgins without number. 9 One is my dove, my perfect one,
She [is] one of her mother,
She [is] the choice one of her that bore her,
Daughters saw, and pronounce her blessed,
Queens and concubines, and they praise her. 10 “Who [is] this that is looking forth as morning,
Beautiful as the moon—clear as the sun,
Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts?” 11 To a garden of nuts I went down,
To look on the buds of the valley,
To see to where the vine had flourished,
The pomegranates had blossomed— 12 I did not know my soul,
It made me—chariots of my people Nadib. 13 Return, return, O Shulammith! Return, return, and we look on you. What do you see in Shulammith?
