Mutual Possession Refrain

I belong to my beloved and he belongs to me;[a]
    he pastures his flock among the lilies.

Solomon’s Praise of His Beloved

You are beautiful, my beloved, as Tirzah,
    lovely as Jerusalem,
        overwhelming as an army with banners.[b]
Turn away your eyes from before me,
    for they overwhelm me.
Your hair is like a flock of the goats
    that moves down from Gilead.
