I belong to my lover, and my lover belongs to me.
    He is the one feeding among the lilies.

He Speaks to Her

My darling, you are as beautiful as Tirzah,[a]
    as pleasant as Jerusalem,
    as awesome as the stars in the sky.[b]
Don’t look at me!
    Your eyes excite me too much!
And your hair is long and flowing,
    like little goats dancing down the slopes of Mount Gilead.
