Context

The Bride

5I am black, but comely, O you daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. 6Look not on me, because I am black, because the sun has looked on me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but my own vineyard have I not kept. 7Tell me, O you whom my soul loves, where you feed, where you make your flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turns aside by the flocks of your companions?
