## Text

[1] I have come to my garden, my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, O friends, and drink;
drink freely, O beloved. [2] I sleep, but my heart is awake.
A sound! My beloved is knocking:
“Open to me, my sister, my darling,
my dove, my flawless one.
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.” [3] I have taken off my robe—
must I put it back on?
I have washed my feet—
must I soil them again? [4] My beloved put his hand to the latch;
my heart pounded for him. [5] I rose up to open for my beloved.
My hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with flowing myrrh
on the handles of the bolt. [6] I opened for my beloved,
but he had turned and gone.
My heart sank at his departure.
I sought him, but did not find him.
I called, but he did not answer. [7] I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city.
They beat me and bruised me;
they took away my cloak,
those guardians of the walls. [8] O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you,
if you find my beloved,
tell him I am sick with love. [9] How is your beloved better than others,
O most beautiful among women?
How is your beloved better than another,
that you charge us so? [10] My beloved is dazzling and ruddy,
outstanding among ten thousand. [11] His head is purest gold;
his hair is wavy and black as a raven. [12] His eyes are like doves
beside the streams of water,
bathed in milk
and mounted like jewels. [13] His cheeks are like beds of spice,
towers of perfume.
His lips are like lilies,
dripping with flowing myrrh. [14] His arms are rods of gold
set with beryl.
His body is an ivory panel
bedecked with sapphires. [15] His legs are pillars of marble
set on bases of pure gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,
as majestic as the cedars. [16] His mouth is most sweet;
he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.
