Beloved

16 My beloved is mine, and I am his.
    He browses among the lilies.
17 Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,
    turn, my beloved,
    and be like a roe or a young deer on the mountains of Bether.

The Loved One

16 My beloved belongs to me and I belong to him.
    He is the one who shepherds his flock among the lilies.
17 Until the day breaks[a] and the shadows flee,
    turn around, my beloved,
and be like a gazelle or a young stag
    on the rugged mountains.[b]
