Song of Solomon 2:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ My lover’s left hand is under my head.
    And his right arm holds me tight!

⁷ Women of Jerusalem, promise me
    by the gazelles and the deer.
Promise not to wake love.
    Don’t excite my feelings of love
    until I’m ready.

⁸ I hear my lover’s voice.
    He comes jumping across the mountains.
    He comes skipping over the hills!
