Song of Songs 6:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

The young woman:

2 My lover has gone down to his garden.
    He has gone to his garden of spice trees.
He has gone there to walk in the gardens
    and to pick lilies.

3 My lover belongs to me,
    and I belong to him.
He moves among the lilies with his sheep.

The young man:

4 My dear friend, you are as beautiful as Tirzah.

    You are as lovely as Jerusalem.[a]
You are as wonderful as an army that is waving its flags.[b]
