Song of Solomon 6:11-13
Lexham English Bible

The Journey to the Valley

11 I went down to the orchard of the walnut trees
    to look at the blossoms of the valley,
to see whether the vines have sprouted,
    whether the pomegranates have blossomed.
12 I did not know my heart[a] set me
    in a chariot of my princely people.[b]
13 [c] Turn, turn,[d] O Shulammite![e]
    Turn, turn[f] so that we may look upon you!
Why do you look upon the Shulammite
    as at a dance of the two armies?
