## Text

[1] On my bed at night
I sought the one I love;
I sought him,
but did not find him. [2] I will arise now and go about the city,
through the streets and squares.
I will seek the one I love.
So I sought him but did not find him. [3] I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city:
“Have you seen the one I love?” [4] I had just passed them when I found the one I love.
I held him and would not let go
until I had brought him to my mother’s house,
to the chamber of the one who conceived me. [5] O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you
by the gazelles and does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until the time is right. [6] Who is this coming up from the wilderness
like a column of smoke,
scented with myrrh and frankincense
from all the spices of the merchant? [7] Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage,
escorted by sixty of the mightiest men of Israel. [8] All are skilled with the sword,
experienced in warfare.
Each has his sword at his side
prepared for the terror of the night. [9] King Solomon has made his carriage
out of the timber of Lebanon. [10] He has made its posts of silver,
its base of gold, its seat of purple fabric.
Its interior is inlaid with love
by the daughters of Jerusalem. [11] Come out, O daughters of Zion,
and gaze at King Solomon,
wearing the crown his mother bestowed
on the day of his wedding—
the day of his heart’s rejoicing.
