Song of Songs 1:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ Carry me away with you—let us run.
Let the king bring me into his chambers.

We rejoice and are happy because of you.
We celebrate your expressions of love
more than we celebrate wine.
How right the virgins^[a] are to love you!

⁵ Dark am I, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem,
dark like the tents of Kedar,
like the tent curtains of Solomon.
⁶ Do not stare at me because I am dark
    because the sun gazed at me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me.
They made me take care of the vineyards.
I could not take care of my own vineyard.
