Song of Solomon 6:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ I went down to the nut orchard,
    to look at the blossoms of the valley,
to see whether the vines had budded,
    whether the pomegranates were in bloom.
¹² Before I was aware, my fancy set me
    in a chariot beside my prince.^[a]

^13 [b] Return, return, O Shulammite!
    Return, return, that we may look upon you.

Why should you look upon the Shulammite,
    as upon a dance before two armies?^[c]
