4 You daughters of Zion, declare have you seen

The star that on Israel shone?

Say if your tents my belovéd has been,

And where with his flock he is gone?

5 This is my belovéd; his form is divine,

His vestments shed odors around,

The locks on his head are as grapes on the vine

When autumn with plenty is crowned.

6 The roses of Sharon, the lilies that grow

In the vales, on the banks of the streams,
