Song of Songs 6
American Standard Version
1Whither is thy beloved goneH1980, O thou fairest among womenH802? Whither hath thy beloved turnedH6437 him, That we may seekH1245 him with thee?2My beloved is goneH3381 downH3381 to his gardenH1588, To the bedsH6170 of spicesH1314, To feedH7462 in the gardensH1588, and to gatherH3950 liliesH7799.3I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine: He feedeth his flock among the liliesH7799.4Thou art fair, O my love, as TirzahH8656, Comely as JerusalemH3389, Terrible as an army with banners.5TurnH5437 away thine eyesH5869 from me, For they have overcome me. Thy hairH8181 is as a flockH5739 of goatsH5795, That lie along the side of GileadH1568.6Thy teethH8127 are like a flockH5739 of ewesH7353, Which are comeH5927 up from the washingH7367; Whereof every one hath twinsH8382, And none is bereaved among them.7Thy templesH7541 are like a piece of a pomegranateH7416 Behind thy veilH6777.8There are threescore queensH4436, and fourscore concubinesH6370, And virgins without numberH4557.9My doveH3123, my undefiled, is but oneH259; She is the only oneH259 of her motherH517; She is the choice oneH259 of her that bare her. The daughtersH1323 sawH7200 her, and calledH833 her blessed; Yea, the queensH4436 and the concubinesH6370, and they praisedH1984 her.10Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, Fair as the moonH3842, Clear as the sunH2535, Terrible as an army with banners?11I wentH3381 downH3381 into the gardenH1594 of nuts, To seeH7200 the green plants of the valley, To seeH7200 whether the vineH1612 buddedH6524, Andthe pomegranatesH7416 were in flower.12Before I was aware, my soulH5315 setH7760 me Amongthe chariotsH4818 of my princely peopleH5971.13Return, return, O Shulammite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee. Why will ye look upon the Shulammite, As upon the dance of Mahanaim?
