1. By the Lord of a graceful gazelle that rose
in my heart while it was her pasture

2. I set up for her nets of dew, then we startled her away.
She enriched me with her beauty,

3. and cast me into her melody,
and she said to me when we had come

4. to a spring we were seeking:
"Weigh out the spring, then darken it

5. with her glance along her course."
