Tell me, O you (A)whom my soul loves,
Where do you (B)shepherd your flock,
Where do you make it (C)lie down at noon?
For why should I be like one who [a]veils herself
Beside the flocks of your (D)companions?”

Solomon and His Bride Extol Each Other

[b]If you yourself do not know,
(E)Most beautiful among women,
Go forth on the trail of the flock
And pasture your young goats
By the dwellings of the shepherds.

(To Her Beloved)

Tell me, O you whom I love,
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who [a]veils herself
By the flocks of your companions?

The Beloved

If you do not know, (A)O fairest among women,
[b]Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
And feed your little goats
Beside the shepherds’ tents.
