5Verse 1I have come in to my garden, my sister-spouse, I have plucked my myrrh with my spice, I have eaten my comb with my honey, I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, drink, Yea, drink abundantly, O beloved ones!Verse 2I am sleeping, but my heart waketh: The sound of my beloved knocking! 'Open to me, my sister, my friend, My dove, my perfect one, For my head is filled [with] dew, My locks [with] drops of the night.'Verse 3I have put off my coat, how do I put it on? I have washed my feet, how do I defile them?Verse 4My beloved sent his hand from the net-work, And my bowels were moved for him.Verse 5I rose to open to my beloved, And my hands dropped myrrh, Yea, my fingers flowing myrrh, On the handles of the lock.Verse 6I opened to my beloved, But my beloved withdrew — he passed on, My soul went forth when he spake, I sought him, and found him not. I called him, and he answered me not.Verse 7The watchmen who go round about the city, Found me, smote me, wounded me, Keepers of the walls lifted up my veil from off me.Verse 8I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved — What do ye tell him? that I [am] sick with love!Verse 9What [is] thy beloved above [any] beloved, O fair among women? What [is] thy beloved above [any] beloved, That thus thou hast adjured us?Verse 10My beloved [is] clear and ruddy, Conspicuous above a myriad!Verse 11His head [is] pure gold — fine gold, His locks flowing, dark as a raven,Verse 12His eyes as doves by streams of water, Washing in milk, sitting in fulness.Verse 13His cheeks as a bed of the spice, towers of perfumes, His lips [are] lilies, dropping flowing myrrh,Verse 14His hands rings of gold, set with beryl, His heart bright ivory, covered with sapphires,Verse 15His limbs pillars of marble, Founded on sockets of fine gold, His appearance as Lebanon, choice as the cedars.Verse 16His mouth is sweetness — and all of him desirable, This [is] my beloved, and this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!
