Passage עָנָה דוֹדִי וְאָמַר לִי קוּמִי לָךְ רַעְיָתִי יָפָתִי וּלְכִי־לָךְ׃ כִּי־הִנֵּה הַסְּתָו עָבַר הַגֶּשֶׁם חָלַף הָלַךְ לוֹ׃ הַנִּצָּנִים נִרְאוּ בָאָרֶץ עֵת הַזָּמִיר הִגִּיעַ וְקוֹל הַתּוֹר נִשְׁמַע בְּאַרְצֵנוּ׃ הַתְּאֵנָה חָנְטָה פַגֶּיהָ וְהַגְּפָנִים ׀ סְמָדַר נָתְנוּ רֵיחַ קוּמִי לָכִי רַעְיָתִי יָפָתִי וּלְכִי־לָךְ׃ יוֹנָתִי בְּחַגְוֵי הַסֶּלַע בְּסֵתֶר הַמַּדְרֵגָה הַרְאִינִי אֶת־מַרְאַיִךְ הַשְׁמִיעִינִי אֶת־קוֹלֵךְ כִּי־קוֹלֵךְ עָרֵב וּמַרְאֵיךְ נָאוֶה׃ אֶחֱזוּ־לָנוּ שׁוּעָלִים שׁוּעָלִים קְטַנִּים מְחַבְּלִים כְּרָמִים וּכְרָמֵינוּ סְמָדַר׃ דּוֹדִי לִי וַאֲנִי לוֹ הָרֹעֶה בַּשּׁוֹשַׁנִּים׃ עַד שֶׁיָּפוּחַ הַיּוֹם וְנָסוּ הַצְּלָלִים סֹב דְּמֵה־לְךָ דוֹדִי לִצְבִי אוֹ לְעֹפֶר הָאַיָּלִים עַל־הָרֵי בָתֶר׃ עַל־מִשְׁכָּבִי בַּלֵּילוֹת בִּקַּשְׁתִּי אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה

הַסֹּבְבִים בָּעִיר אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי רְאִיתֶם׃ כִּמְעַט שֶׁעָבַרְתִּי מֵהֶם עַד שֶׁמָּצָאתִי אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי אֲחַזְתִּיו וְלֹא אַרְפֶּנּוּ עַד־שֶׁהֲבֵיאתִיו אֶל־בֵּית אִמִּי וְאֶל־חֶדֶר

כְּתִימְרוֹת עָשָׁן מְקֻטֶּרֶת מוֹר וּלְבוֹנָה מִכֹּל אַבְקַת רוֹכֵל׃ הִנֵּה מִטָּתוֹ שֶׁלִּשְׁלֹמֹה שִׁשִּׁים גִּבֹּרִים סָבִיב לָהּ מִגִּבֹּרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ כֻּלָּם אֲחֻזֵי חֶרֶב מְלֻמְּדֵי מִלְחָמָה אִישׁ חַרְבּוֹ עַל־יְרֵכוֹ מִפַּחַד בַּלֵּילוֹת׃ אַפִּרְיוֹן עָשָׂה לוֹ הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה מֵעֲצֵי הַלְּבָנוֹן׃ עַמּוּדָיו עָשָׂה כֶסֶף רְפִידָתוֹ זָהָב מֶרְכָּבוֹ אַרְגָּמָן תּוֹכוֹ רָצוּף אַהֲבָה מִבְּנוֹת יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם׃ צְאֶינָה ׀ וּרְאֶינָה בְּנוֹת צִיּוֹן בַּמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה בָּעֲטָרָה שֶׁעִטְּרָה־לּוֹ אִמּוֹ בְּיוֹם חֲתֻנָּתוֹ וּבְיוֹם שִׂמְחַת לִבּוֹ׃ הִנָּךְ יָפָה רַעְיָתִי הִנָּךְ יָפָה עֵינַיִךְ יוֹנִים מִבַּעַד לְצַמָּתֵךְ שַׂעְרֵךְ כְּעֵדֶר הָעִזִּים שֶׁגָּלְשׁוּ מֵהַר גִּלְעָד׃ שִׁנַּיִךְ כְּעֵדֶר הַקְּצוּבוֹת שֶׁעָלוּ מִן־הָרַחְצָה שֶׁכֻּלָּם מַתְאִימוֹת וְשַׁכֻּלָה אֵין בָּהֶם׃

my beautiful one, let us leave. Winter is over. The rains have passed and left us. On the land, buds have appeared. The songbirds' time has come, and the turtle-dove's call sounds over our land. The fig has put out her young fruits, and the flowering vines give scent - so come, rise, my love, my beautiful one, let us leave." [He] My dove, in the rock's cleft, in the cliff's shadow - show me your face, let me hear your voice, for it is lovely, your voice; your face so fair. [She] Catch the foxes, the little foxes, ravaging the vineyards, just as our vineyard is in flower. My beloved is my own and I am his, who pastures among lilies. Until the day has breathed its light and the shadows have flown, turn like a gazelle, my beloved, turn like a young deer, to the riven hills. [She] Upon my bed at night I search for the one I love; I search for him, I do not find him. I shall rise, I shall go all around the town, through the streets, across the squares; I am searching for the one I love - I search for him, I do not find him. The guards find me, those who go around the town: "The one that I love - have you seen him?" I have scarcely moved away from them when I find the one I love. I catch hold of him; I will not let him go, until I have brought him to my mother's house, to the chamber where I was conceived. Swear to me, daughters of Jerusalem, by the she-gazelles, by the does of the field; swear that you will not waken, will not rouse, this love before its time. [Friends] Who is this, rising from the desert, like plumes of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, and all the merchants' powders? Here stands Solomon's bed, sixty soldiers all around it, heroes of Israel. Each carrying his sword, each learned in war, each with his sword at his thigh for very fear at night. King Solomon built a palace of Lebanon wood; He plated the pillars with silver, made the pillows of gold; his couch is purple silk, and all the space is lined with love by the daughters of Jerusalem. Go out and see, daughters of Zion, look at Solomon the king, in the crown his mother gave to him, on this his wedding day; on the day his heart rejoiced. [He] How beautiful you are, my love, how beautiful, your eyes like doves seen through your tresses; your hair like a flock of goats flowing down Mount Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of sheep, rising up from cleaning, each bearing twins, two and two, not one among them lost. Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon, and your speech is fair; your forehead, like a pomegranate glowing
