Son1:5 I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.
Son1:6 Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. My mother's sons were angry with me; They made me the keeper of the vineyards, But my own vineyard I have not kept. (To Her Beloved)
Son1:7 Tell me, O you whom I love, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who veils herself By the flocks of your companions? The Beloved
Son1:8 If you do not know, O fairest among women, Follow in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats Beside the shepherds' tents.
Son1:9 I have compared you, my love, To my filly among Pharaoh's chariots.
Son1:10 Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, Your neck with chains of gold. The Daughters of Jerusalem
Son1:11 We will make you ornaments of gold With studs of silver. The Shulamite
Son1:12 While the king is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance.
Son1:13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, That lies all night between my breasts.
Son1:14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of En Gedi. The Beloved
