Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
    where you graze your flock,
    where you rest them at noon;
    for why should I be as one who is veiled
    beside the flocks of your companions?

Lover

If you don’t know, most beautiful among women,
    follow the tracks of the sheep.
    Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.

(To Her Beloved)

Tell me, O you whom I love,
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who [a]veils herself
By the flocks of your companions?

The Beloved

If you do not know, (A)O fairest among women,
[b]Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
And feed your little goats
Beside the shepherds’ tents.
