My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices,
to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine:
he feedeth among the lilies.
[tr. KJV (1611)]

THE BRIDE: My Beloved went down to his garden,
to the beds of spices,
to pasture his flock in the gardens and gather lilies.
I am my Beloved's, and my Beloved is mine.
He pastures his flock among the lilies.
[tr. JB (1966)]

BELOVED: My love went down to his garden,
to the beds of spices,
to pasture his flock on the grass and gather lilies.
I belong to my love, and my love to me.
He pastures his flock among the lilies.
[tr. NJB (1985)]

WOMAN: My lover has gone to his garden,
where the balsam trees grow.
He is feeding his flock in the garden
and gathering lilies.
My lover is mine, and I am his;
he feeds his flock among the lilies.
[tr. GNT (1992 ed.)]

WOMAN: My lover has gone down to his garden,
to the fragrant plantings,
to graze in the gardens,
to gather the lilies.
I belong to my lover and my lover belongs to me --
the one grazing among the lilies.
[tr. CEB (2011)]

My beloved has gone down to his garden,
To the beds of spices,
To browse in the gardens
And to pick lilies.
I am my beloved’s
And my beloved is mine;
He browses among the lilies.
[tr. RJPS (2023 ed.)]
