But (A)my dove, my perfect one, is [a]unique:
She is her mother’s [b]only daughter;
She is the pure child of the one who gave birth to her.
The [c](B)young women saw her and called her [d]blessed,
The (C)queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying,

10 ‘Who is this who looks down like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full (D)moon,
As pure (E)as the sun,
As (F)awesome as an army with banners?’
11 I went down to the orchard of nut trees
To see the plants of the valley,
To see whether (G)the vine had grown
Or the (H)pomegranates had bloomed.
