The Daughters of Jerusalem
aO fairest among women?
Where has your beloved turned aside,
That we may seek him with you?
The Shulamite
To the beds of spices,
To feed his flock in the gardens,
And to gather lilies.
Praise of the Shulamite’s Beauty
The Beloved
For they have1 overcome me.
Your hair is alike a flock of goats
Going down from Gilead.
