Tell me, you (A)whom my soul loves,
Where do you (B)pasture your flock,
Where do you have 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, the Lover, Speaks

“If you yourself do not know,
(E)Most beautiful among women,
Go out on the trail of the flock,
And pasture your young goats
By the tents of the shepherds.

  1. Song of Solomon 1:7 Some ancient versions wanders

Tell me, my love, where are you leading your flock today?
    Where will you rest your sheep at noon?
For why should I wander like a prostitute[a]
    among your friends and their flocks?

Young Man

If you don’t know, O most beautiful woman,
    follow the trail of my flock,
    and graze your young goats by the shepherds’ tents.
