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.
(To Her Beloved)
Where you feed your flock,
Where you make it rest at noon.
For why should I be as one who1 veils herself
By the flocks of your companions?
The Beloved
1Follow in the footsteps of the flock,
And feed your little goats
Beside the shepherds’ tents.
The Daughters of Jerusalem
