 1. 



When I have hair, then shall I be adorned in beauty, 

 Adorned in beauty when I have hair. 



The words of Song 2 imply a contemplation of the sending down 

 to the earth of all forms of life when she becomes beautified with 

 the adornment of hair (verdure). 



A free translation of one line will suffice, to give the meaning of 

 the song.
