Songs:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Daughters of Jerusalem :
Where has your beloved gone ,
O most beautiful among women ?
Where has your beloved turned aside ,
that we may seek him with you ?
*
Shulamite :
My beloved has gone to his garden ,
to the beds of spices ,
to graze in the gardens ,
and to gather lilies .
*
I am my beloved
s ,
and my beloved is mine .
He grazes among the lilies .
*
The Beloved :
O my love ,
you are as beautiful as Tirzah ,
lovely as Jerusalem ,
awesome as an army with banners !
*
Turn your eyes away from me ,
for they have overcome me .
Your hair is like a flock of goats lying down in Gilead .
*
Your teeth are like a flock of ewes which have come up from the washing ;
every one bears twins ,
and not one is barren among them .
*
Like a piece of pomegranate are your temples behind your veil .
*
There are sixty queens and eighty concubines ,
and virgins without number .
*
But my dove ,
my perfect one ,
is the one ,
the only one of her mother ,
the pure of the one who bore her .
The daughters saw her and called her blessed ,
the queens and the concubines ,
and they praised her .
*
Who is she who looks forth as the morning ,
beautiful as the moon ,
clear as the sun ,
awesome as an army with banners ?
*
Shulamite :
I went down to the garden of nuts to see the greenery of the valley ,
to see whether the vine had budded and the pomegranates had bloomed .
*
Before I was even aware ,
my soul had made me like the chariots of Amminadib .
*
The Beloved and His Friends :
Return ,
return ,
O Shulamite ;
Return ,
return ,
that we may gaze upon you !
Shulamite :
What would you see in the Shulamite ;
as it were ,
the dancing of two armies ?
