“^(a)^(A)Where has your beloved gone,
O ^(B)most beautiful among women?
Where has your beloved turned,
That we may seek him with you?”

^{Tools

“^(b)My beloved has gone down to his ^(C)garden,
To the ^(D)beds of balsam,
To ^(E)pasture his flock in the gardens
And gather ^(F)lilies.

^{Tools
3}

“^(G)I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine,
He who ^(H)pastures his flock among the lilies.”

^{Tools

“^(c)^(I)You are as beautiful as ^(J)Tirzah, my darling,
As ^(K)lovely as ^(L)Jerusalem,
As ^(M)awesome as ^(d)an army with banners.

^{Tools

“Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have confused me;
^(N)Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Gilead.

^{Tools

“^(O)Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has ^(e)lost her young.

^{Tools

“^(P)Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.

^{Tools

“There are sixty ^(Q)queens and eighty concubines,
And ^(f)^(R)maidens without number;

^{Tools
9}

But ^(S)my dove, my perfect one, is ^(g)unique:
She is her mother’s ^(h)only daughter;
She is the pure child of the one who bore her.
The ⁽ⁱ⁾^(T)maidens saw her and called her blessed,
The ^(U)queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,

^{Tools
10}

‘Who is this that ^(j)grows like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full ^(V)moon,
As pure ^(W)as the sun,
As ^(X)awesome as ^(k)an army with banners?’

^{Tools
11}

“I went down to the orchard of nut trees
To see the blossoms of the valley,
To see whether ^(Y)the vine had budded
Or the ^(Z)pomegranates had bloomed.

^{Tools
12}

“Before I was aware, my soul set me
Over the chariots of ^(l)my noble people.”

^{Tools
13}

“^(m)⁽ⁿ⁾Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
Come back, come back, that we may gaze at you!”
“^(o)Why should you gaze at the Shulammite,
As at the ^(AA)dance of ^(p)^(AB)the two companies?
