He
1
I g came to my garden, my h sister, my bride,
I gathered my i myrrh with my spice,
I ate my j honeycomb with my honey,
I k drank my wine with my milk.
Eat, l friends, drink,
and be drunk with love!
She
2
I slept, but my heart was awake.
A sound! My beloved is m knocking.
"Open to me, my n sister, my o love,
my p dove, my q perfect one,
for my head is wet with dew,
my r locks with the drops of the night."
3
s I had put off my garment;
how could I put it on?
I had t 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 u 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 v spoke.
w I sought him, but found him not;
x I called him, but he gave no answer.
7
y 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 z adjure you, O a daughters of Jerusalem,
if you find my beloved,
that you tell him
b I am sick with love.
Others

e distinguished among ten thousand.
11
His head is the finest gold;
f his locks are wavy,
black as a raven.
12
His g eyes are like doves
beside streams of water,
bathed in milk,
sitting beside a full pool.
13
His i cheeks are like j beds of spices,
mounds of sweet-smelling herbs.
His lips are k lilies,
dripping u liquid myrrh.
14
His arms are rods of gold,
set with l jewels.
His body is polished ivory,
bedecked with m sapphires.
15
His legs are alabaster columns,
set on bases of gold.
His appearance is like o Lebanon,
choice as the cedars.
16
His p mouth is most sweet,
and he is altogether desirable.
This is my beloved and this is my friend,
O a daughters of Jerusalem.
