The Groom

14 (A)My dove, (B)in the clefts of the [a]rock,
In the hiding place of the mountain pathway,
Let me see [b]how you look,
(C)Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is pleasant,
And [c]you look (D)delightful.”

The Chorus

15 (E)Catch the [d]foxes for us,
The [e]little [f]foxes that are ruining the vineyards,
While our (F)vineyards are in blossom.”

The Bride

16 (G)My beloved is mine, and I am his;
He (H)pastures his flock among the lilies.
17 (I)Until the cool of the day, when the shadows flee,
Turn, my beloved, and be like a (J)gazelle
Or a young stag (K)on the mountains of [g]Bether.”
