3 On my bed ^(A)by night
I sought ^(B)him whom my soul loves;
    ^(C)I sought him, but found him not.

⁷ Tell me, you ^(A)whom my soul loves,
    where you ^(B)pasture your flock,
    where you make it ^(C)lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
    beside the flocks of your ^(D)companions?
