Song of Solomon 6
Douay-Rheims Bible

The Friends

1Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou most beautiful among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside, and we will seek him with thee?

The Bride

2My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the bed of aromatical spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

3I to my beloved, and my beloved to me, who feedeth among the lilies.

Mutual Delight

4Thou art beautiful, O my love, sweet and comely as Jerusalem: terrible as an army set in array.

5Turn away thy eyes from me, for they have made me flee away. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from Galaad.

6Thy teeth as a flock of sheep, which come up from the washing, all with twins, and there is none barren among them.

7Thy cheeks are as the bark of a pomegranate, beside what is hidden within thee.

8There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and young maidens without number.

9One is my dove, my perfect one is but one, she is the only one of her mother, the chosen of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and declared her most blessed: the queens and concubines, and they praised her.

10Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array?

The Bride

11I went down into the garden of nuts, to see the fruits of the valleys, and to look if the vineyard had flourished, and the pomegranates budded.

12I knew not: my soul troubled me for the chariots of Aminadab.

The Friends

13Return, return, O Sulamitess : return, return that we may behold thee.
