Song of Songs 6
Revised Version 1895
1Whither is thy belovedH1730 goneH1980, O thou fairest among womenH802? whither hath thy belovedH1730 turnedH6437 him, that weH1980 may seekH1245 him with thee? 2My belovedH1730 is goneH3381 downH3381 to his gardenH1588, to the bedsH6170 of spicesH1314, to feedH7462 in the gardensH1588, and to gatherH3950 liliesH7799. 3I am my beloved’sH1730, and my belovedH1730 is mine: he feedeth his flock among the liliesH7799. 4Thou art beautifulH3303, O my love, as TirzahH8656, comelyH5000 as JerusalemH3389, terrible as an armyH3389 with banners. 5TurnH5437 awayH4480 thine eyesH5869 from meH4480, for they have overcome meH4480. Thy hairH8181 is as a flockH5739 of goatsH5795, that lie along the sideH5048 of GileadH1568. 6Thy teethH8127 are like a flockH5739 of ewesH7353, which are comeH5927 upH5927 from the washingH7367; whereof everyH3605 one hath twinsH8382, and noneH369 is bereaved among them. 7Thy templesH7541 are like a pieceH6400 of a pomegranateH7416 behindH1157 thy veilH6777. 8There are threescore queensH4436, and fourscore concubinesH6370, and virgins withoutH369 numberH4557. 9My doveH3123, my undefiled, is but one; sheH1931 is the onlyH259 one of herH7200 motherH517; sheH1931 is the choiceH7200 one of herH7200 that bare herH7200. The daughtersH1323 sawH7200 herH7200, and calledH833 herH7200 blessedH833; yea, the queensH4436 and the concubinesH6370, and they praisedH1984 herH7200. 10Who is she that looketh forth as the morningH7837, fairH3303 as the moonH3842, clear as the sunH2535, terrible as an army with banners? 11I wentH3381 downH3381 intoH413 the gardenH1594 of nuts, to seeH7200 the greenH3 plants of the valleyH5158, to seeH7200 whetherH7200 the vineH1612 buddedH6524, and the pomegranatesH7416 were in flower. 12Or ever I was awareH3045, my soulH5315 setH7760 meH5315 among the 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?
