1I am come935 into my garden1588, my sister269, my spouse3618: I have gathered717 my myrrh4753 with my spice1313; I have eaten398 my honeycomb3293 with my honey1706; I have drunk8354 my wine3196 with my milk2461: eat398, O friends7453; drink8354, yea, drink abundantly7937, O beloved1730.
2I sleep3463, but my heart3820 waketh5782: it is the voice6963 of my beloved1730 that knocketh1849, saying, Open6605 to me, my sister269, my love7474, my dove3123, my undefiled8535: for my head7218 is filled4390 with dew2919, and my locks6977 with the drops7447 of the night3915.
3I have put off6584 my coat3801; how349 shall I put it on3847? I have washed7364 my feet7272; how349 shall I defile2936 them?
4My beloved1730 put in7971 his hand3027 by4480 the hole2356 of the door, and my bowels4578 were moved1993 for him.
5I rose up6965 to open6605 to my beloved1730; and my hands3027 dropped5197 with myrrh4753, and my fingers676 with sweet smelling5674 myrrh4753, upon the handles3709 of the lock4514.
6I opened6605 to my beloved1730; but my beloved1730 had withdrawn2559 himself, and was gone5674: my soul5315 failed3318 when he spake1696: I sought1245 him, but I could not find4672 him; I called7121 him, but he gave me no answer6030.
7The watchmen8104 that went about5437 the city5892 found4672 me, they smote5221 me, they wounded6481 me; the keepers8104 of the walls2346 took away5375 my veil7289 from me.
8I charge7650 you, O daughters1323 of Jerusalem3389, if ye find4672 my beloved1730, that ye tell5046 him, that I am sick2470 of love160.
9What is thy beloved1730 more than another beloved1730, O thou fairest3303 among women802? what is thy beloved1730 more than another beloved1730, that thou3602 dost so charge7650 us?
10My beloved1730 is white6703 and ruddy122, the chiefest1713 among ten thousand7233.
11His head7218 is as the most3800 fine gold6337, his locks6977 are bushy8534, and black7838 as a raven6158.
12His eyes5869 are as the eyes of doves3123 by the rivers650 of waters4325, washed7364 with milk2461, and fitly set3427 4402.
13His cheeks3895 are as a bed6170 of spices1314, as sweet4840 flowers4026: his lips8193 like lilies7799, dropping5197 sweet smelling5674 myrrh4753.
14His hands3027 are as gold2091 rings1550 set4390 with the beryl8658: his belly4578 is as bright6247 ivory8127 overlaid5968 with sapphires5601.
15His legs7785 are as pillars5982 of marble8336, set3245 upon sockets134 of fine gold6337: his countenance4758 is as Lebanon3844, excellent977 as the cedars730.
16His mouth2441 is most sweet4477: yea, he is altogether lovely4261. This is my beloved1730, and this is my friend7453, O daughters1323 of Jerusalem3389.
