Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
    where you pasture your flock,
    where you make it lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who wanders[a]
    beside the flocks of your companions?

    O fairest among women,
follow in the tracks of the flock,
    and pasture your kids
    beside the shepherds’ tents.

    to a mare of Pharaoh’s chariots.
