Canticle of Canticles 6

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Where has your lover gone,	1 My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the bed of aromatical spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
2 My lover has come down to his garden,	2 I to my beloved, and my beloved to me, who feedeth among the lilies.
3 My lover belongs to me and I to him;	3 Thou art beautiful, O my love, sweet and comely as Jerusalem: terrible as an army set in array.
4 You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my beloved,	4 Turn away thy eyes from me, for they have made me flee away. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from Galaad.
5 Turn your eyes from me,	5 Thy teeth as a flock of sheep, which come up from the washing, all with twins, and there is none barren among them.
6 Your teeth are like a flock of ewes	6 Thy cheeks are as the bark of a pomegranate, beside what is hidden within thee.
7 Your cheek is like a half-pomegranate	7 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and young maidens without number.
8 There are sixty queens, eighty concubines,	8 One 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.
9 One alone is my dove, my perfect one,	9 Who is she that cometh forth as the morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army set in array?
10 Who is this that comes forth like the dawn,	10 I 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.
11 I came down to the nut garden	11 I knew not: my soul troubled me for the chariots of Aminadab.
12 Before I knew it, my heart had made me	12 Return, return, O Sulamitess : return, return that we may behold thee.
