She

I am very dark, but (A)lovely,
    O (B)daughters of Jerusalem,
like (C)the tents of (D)Kedar,
    like the curtains of Solomon.
Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
    because the sun has looked upon me.
My (E)mother's sons were angry with me;
    they made me (F)keeper of (G)the vineyards,
    but (H)my own vineyard I have not kept!
Tell me, you (I)whom my soul loves,
    where you (J)pasture your flock,
    where you make it (K)lie down at noon;
for why should I be like one who veils herself
    beside the flocks of your (L)companions?
