Song_of_Solomon
Cant.6
[1] Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among
women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him
with thee.
[2] My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds
of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
[3] I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth
among the lilies.
[4] Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as
Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.
[5] Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome
me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
[6] Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the
washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one
barren among them.
[7] As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy
locks.
[8] There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines,
and virgins without number.
[9] My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one
of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The
daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the
concubines, and they praised her.
[10] Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as
the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with
banners?
[11] I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits
of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the
pomegranates budded.
[12] Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the
chariots of Amminadib.
[13] Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we
may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were
the company of two armies.
