My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens and to gather lilies. Begin Abide·

I belong to my beloved and he belongs to me; he pastures his flock among the lilies. Begin Abide·

You are as beautiful, my darling, as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as majestic as troops with banners. Begin Abide·

Turn your eyes away from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats streaming down from Gilead. Begin Abide·

Your teeth are like a flock of sheep coming up from the washing; each has its twin, and not one of them is lost. Begin Abide·

Your brow behind your veil is like a slice of pomegranate. Begin Abide·

There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and maidens without number, Begin Abide·

but my dove, my perfect one, is unique, the favorite of the mother who bore her. The maidens see her and call her blessed; the queens and concubines sing her praises. Begin Abide·

Who is this who shines like the dawn, as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, as majestic as the stars in procession? Begin Abide·

I went down to the walnut grove to see the blossoms of the valley, to see if the vines were budding or the pomegranates were in bloom. Begin Abide·

Before I realized it, my desire had set me among the royal chariots of my people. Begin Abide·

Come back, come back, O Shulammite! Come back, come back, that we may gaze upon you. Why do you look at the Shulammite, as on the dance of Mahanaim? Begin Abide·
