Seeker Overlay ON

* Whither is thy friend gone , O fairest of women ? whither hath thy friend turned himself ? that we may seek him with thee ?–– * My beloved is gone down to his garden , to the beds of spices , to feed in the gardens , and to gather lilies . * I am my friend ’s , and my friend is mine : he that feedeth among the lilies .–– * Thou art beautiful , O my beloved , like Thirzah , comely like Jerusalem , terrible as armies encamped round their banners . * Turn away thy eyes from me , for they have excited me : thy hair is like a flock of goats that come quietly down from mount Gil ’ad . * Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes which are come up from the washing , all of which bear twins , and there is not one among them that is deprived of her young . * Like the half of the pomegranate is the upper part of thy cheek behind thy vail . * Sixty are the queens , and eighty the concubines , and the young women without number ; * But one alone is my dove , my guiltless one ; she is the only one of her mother , she is the chosen of her that bore her : maidens see her , and call her happy ; yea , queens and concubines , and praise her . * Who is this that shineth forth like the morning –dawn , beautiful as the moon , bright as the sun , terrible as armies encamped round their banners ? * Into the nut –garden was I gone down , to look about among the plants of the valley , to see whether the vine had blossomed , whether the pomegranates had budded . * I knew not , my soul made me the chariots of my noble people . *
