Song of Solomon 6:1-9 ▼

1 WHERE has your beloved gone, O you most beautiful among women? Where has your beloved turned aside, that we may seek him with you?

2 My beloved has gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens and to gather lilies.

3 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine; he feeds among the lilies.

4 You are beautiful and desirable, O my beloved, comely as Jerusalem, and esteemed as one chosen among beauties.

5 Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me; your hair is like a flock of goats which come up from the mount of Gilead.

6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep which go up from washing; every one of them bears twins, and none is bereft among them.

7 Your cheeks, behind your veil, are like two pieces of pomegranate.

8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines and virgins without number.

9 My perfect dove is but one; she is the only one of her mother; she is the choice one of her that bore her. The daughters saw her and praised her; yea, the queens and the concubines also praised her.
