The Shulamite
Your name is ointment poured forth;
Therefore the virgins love you.
bWe will run after1 you.
The king chas brought me into his chambers.
We will be glad and rejoice in1 you.
We will remember your love more than wine.
Rightly do they love you.
The Daughters of Jerusalem The Shulamite The Daughters of Jerusalem The Shulamite
O daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the tents of Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
Because the sun has1 tanned me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;
They made me the keeper of the vineyards,
But my own avineyard I have not kept.
