The Bride

16 (A)My beloved is mine, and I am his;
He (B)pastures his flock among the lilies.
17 (C)Until the cool of the day, when the shadows flee,
Turn, my beloved, and be like a (D)gazelle
Or a young stag (E)on the mountains of [a]Bether.”

Young Woman

16 My lover is mine, and I am his.

    and the night shadows flee,
return to me, my love, like a gazelle
    or a young stag on the rugged mountains.[a]
