16 My beloved is mine and I am his;(A)
    he browses among the lilies.(B)

    and the shadows flee,(C)
turn, my beloved,(D)
    and be like a gazelle
or like a young stag(E)
    on the rugged hills.[a](F)

16 I belong to my lover and he belongs to me—
        the one grazing among the lilies.

    turn about, my love; be like a gazelle
        or a young stag
        upon the jagged mountains.[a]
