The Loved One

My beloved has gone down to his garden,
    to the beds of spices,
to graze his flock[a] in the gardens
    and gather lilies.
I belong to my beloved, and my beloved belongs to me.
    He is the one who grazes his flock[b] among the lilies.

The Lover

You are beautiful, my darling, like Tirzah,[c]
    lovely like Jerusalem,
        as awesome as an army with banners.
