I came to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gathered my myrrh with my spice, I ate my honeycomb with my honey, I drank my wine with my milk. Eat, friends, drink, and be drunk with love! |
2
|
I slept, but my heart was awake. A sound! My beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one, for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night." |
3
|
I had put off my garment; how could I put it on? I had bathed my feet; how could I soil them? |
4
|
My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me. |
5
|
I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the bolt. |
6
|
I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer. |
7
|
The watchmen found me as they went about in the city; they beat me, they bruised me, they took away my veil, those watchmen of the walls. |
8
|
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love. |
9
|
What is your beloved more than another beloved, O most beautiful among women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you thus adjure us? |
10
|
My beloved is radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand. |
11
|
His head is the finest gold; his locks are wavy, black as a raven. |
12
|
His eyes are like doves beside streams of water, bathed in milk, sitting beside a full pool. |
13
|
His cheeks are like beds of spices, mounds of sweet-smelling herbs. His lips are lilies, dripping liquid myrrh. |
14
|
His arms are rods of gold, set with jewels. His body is polished ivory, bedecked with sapphires. |
15
|
His legs are alabaster columns, set on bases of gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars. |
16
|
His mouth is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. |
