Song of Solomon 6 — ASV

6Verse 1Whither is thy beloved gone,
O thou fairest among women?
Whither hath thy beloved turned him,
That we may seek him with thee?^{Verse 2}My beloved is gone down to his garden,
To the beds of spices,
To feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
^{Verse 3}I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine:
He feedeth his flock among the lilies.^{Verse 4}Thou art fair, O my love, as Tirzah,
Comely as Jerusalem,
Terrible as an army with banners.
^{Verse 5}Turn away thine eyes from me,
For they have overcome me.
Thy hair is as a flock of goats,
That lie along the side of Gilead.
^{Verse 6}Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes,
Which are come up from the washing;
Whereof every one hath twins,
And none is bereaved among them.
^{Verse 7}Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate
Behind thy veil.
^{Verse 8}There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines,
And virgins without number.
^{Verse 9}My dove, my undefiled, is but one;
She is the only one of her mother;
She is the choice one of her that bare her.
The daughters saw her, and called her blessed;
Yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.^{Verse 10}Who is she that looketh forth as the morning,
Fair as the moon,
Clear as the sun,
Terrible as an army with banners?^{Verse 11}I went down into the garden of nuts,
To see the green plants of the valley,
To see whether the vine budded,
And the pomegranates were in flower.
^{Verse 12}Before I was aware, my soul set me
Among the chariots of my princely people.^{Verse 13}Return, return, O Shulammite;
Return, return, that we may look upon thee.
Why will ye look upon the Shulammite,
As upon the dance of Mahanaim?
