She Answers the Women of Jerusalem

My lover has gone down to his garden,
    where sweet-smelling spices grow.
There, like a sheep, he will eat the grass,
    and he will enjoy the lilies.
I belong to my lover, and my lover belongs to me.
    He is the one feeding among the lilies.

He Speaks to Her

My darling, you are as beautiful as Tirzah,[a]
    as pleasant as Jerusalem,
    as awesome as the stars in the sky.[b]
