Brothers

We have a little sister.
    She has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
    in the day when she is to be spoken for?

If she is a wall,
    we will build on her a turret of silver.
If she is a door,
    we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

Beloved

10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers,
    then I was in his eyes like one who found peace.

The Chorus

“We have a little sister,
And she (A)has no breasts;
What shall we do for our sister
On the day when she is spoken for?
If she is a wall,
We will build on her a battlement of silver;
But if she is a door,
We will barricade her with (B)planks of cedar.”

The Bride

10 “I was a wall, and (C)my breasts were like towers;
Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace.
