1<\/sup>Chorus to Bride: Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful among women? To where has your beloved turned aside, so that we may seek him with you?<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Bride: My beloved has descended to his garden, to the courtyard of aromatic plants, in order to pasture in the gardens and gather the lilies.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>I am for my beloved, and my beloved is for me. He pastures among the lilies.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Groom to Bride: My love, you are beautiful: sweet and graceful, like Jerusalem; terrible, like an army in battle array.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>Avert your eyes from me, for they have caused me fly away. Your hair is like a flock of goats, which have appeared out of Gilead.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>Your teeth are like a flock of sheep, which have ascended from the washing, each one with its identical twin, and not one among them is barren.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Like the skin of a pomegranate, so are your cheeks, except for your hiddenness.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and maidens without number.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>One is my dove, my perfect one. One is her mother; elect is she who bore her. The daughters saw her, and they proclaimed her most blessed. The queens and concubines saw her, and they praised her.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Chorus to Groom: Who is she, who advances like the rising dawn, as beautiful as the moon, as elect as the sun, as terrible as an army in battle array?<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Bride: I descended to the garden of nuts, in order to see the fruits of the steep valleys, and to examine whether the vineyard had flourished and the pomegranates had produced buds.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>I did not understand. My soul was stirred up within me because of the chariots of Amminadab.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>Chorus to Bride: Return, return, O Sulamitess. Return, return, so that we may consider you.<\/span> <\/p>\n
