To see the plants of the valley,
To see whether (A)the vine had grown
Or the (B)pomegranates had bloomed.
12 [a]Before I was aware, my soul set me
Over the chariots of [b]my noble people.”

The Chorus

13 [c]Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
Come back, come back, so that we may look at you!”

The Groom

“Why should you look at the Shulammite,
As at the (C)dance of [d](D)the two armies?
