Whither is thy
beloved gone, O thou
fairest among
women? whither is thy
beloved turned
aside? that we may
seek him with thee.

My
beloved is gone
down into his
garden, to the
beds of
spices, to
feed in the
gardens, and to
gather lilies.

Turn
away thine
eyes from me, for
they have
overcome me: thy
hair is as a
flock of
goats that
appear from
Gilead.

Thy

twins, and there is not one

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.
