Song of Solomon 1:7-9

The Voice

⁷     (to him) Tell me, my dearest love,
        where are your sheep grazing today?
    Where are you resting with your flock at midday?
        I want to come to you.
    Why must I go looking for you like the veiled women

    Follow the tracks of my sheep—
        they will lead you to me—
    And graze your flocks of young goats
        beside the shepherds’ tents.

        of an honored mare among Pharaoh’s stallion-driven chariots;
