She
I am very dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
-
Do not gaze at me because I am dark, because the sun has looked upon me. My mother's sons were angry with me; they made me keeper of the vineyards, but my own vineyard I have not kept!

Solomon and His Bride Delight in Each Other
He
If you do not know, O most beautiful among women, follow in the tracks of the flock, and pasture your young goats beside the shepherds' tents.
-
I compare you, my love, to a mare among Pharaoh's chariots.
-
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
-
He
As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.
-
She
As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
-
Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love.
-
My beloved is mine, and I am his; he grazes among the lilies.
-
Your teeth are like a flock of shorn ewes that have come up from the washing, all of which bear twins, and not one among them has lost its young.
-
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love.
-
Others
What is your beloved more than another beloved, O most beautiful among women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you thus adjure us?

The Bride Praises Her Beloved
She
My beloved is radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand.
-
I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he grazes among the lilies.
-
Your teeth are like a flock of ewes that have come up from the washing; all of them bear twins; not one among them has lost its young.
-
Before I was aware, my desire set me among the chariots of my kinsman, a prince.
-
I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.
