I
am
come
into
my
garden,
my
sister,
[my]
spouse:
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;
drink,
yea,
drink
abundantly,
O
beloved.
2
I
sleep,
but
my
heart
waketh:
[it
is]
the
voice
of
my
beloved
that
knocketh,
[saying],
Open
to
me,
my
sister,
my
love,
my
dove,
my
undefiled:
for
my
head
is
filled
with
dew,
[and]
my
locks
with
the
drops
of
the
night.
3
I
have
put
off
my
coat;
how
shall
I
put
it
on?
I
have
washed
my
feet;
how
shall
I
defile
them?
4
My
beloved
put
in
his
hand
by
the
hole
[of
the
door],
and
my
bowels
were
moved
for
him.
5
I
rose
up
to
open
to
my
beloved;
and
my
hands
dropped
[with]
myrrh,
and
my
fingers
[with]
sweet
smelling
myrrh,
upon
the
handles
of
the
lock.
6
I
opened
to
my
beloved;
but
my
beloved
had
withdrawn
himself,
[and]
was
gone:
my
soul
failed
when
he
spake:
I
sought
him,
but
I
could
not
find
him;
I
called
him,
but
he
gave
me
no
answer.
7
The
watchmen
that
went
about
the
city
found
me,
they
smote
me,
they
wounded
me;
the
keepers
of
the
walls
took
away
my
veil
from
8
I
charge
you,
O
daughters
of
Jerusalem,
if
ye
find
my
beloved,
that
ye
tell
him,
that
I
[am]
sick
of
love.
9
What
[is]
thy
beloved
more
than
[another]
beloved,
O
thou
fairest
among
women?
what
[is]
thy
beloved
more
than
[another]
beloved,
that
thou
dost
so
charge
10
My
beloved
[is]
white
and
ruddy,
the
chiefest
among
ten
thousand.
11
His
head
[is
as]
the
most
fine
gold,
his
locks
[are]
bushy,
[and]
black
as
a
raven.
12
His
eyes
[are]
as
[the
eyes]
of
doves
by
the
rivers
of
waters,
washed
with
milk,
[and]
fitly
set.
13
His
cheeks
[are]
as
a
bed
of
spices,
[as]
sweet
flowers:
his
lips
[like]
lilies,
dropping
sweet
smelling
myrrh.
14
His
hands
[are
as]
gold
rings
set
with
the
beryl:
his
belly
[is
as]
bright
ivory
overlaid
[with]
sapphires.
15
His
legs
[are
as]
pillars
of
marble,
set
upon
sockets
of
fine
gold:
his
countenance
[is]
as
Lebanon,
excellent
as
the
cedars.
16
His
mouth
[is]
most
sweet:
yea,
he
[is]
altogether
lovely.
This
[is]
my
beloved,
and
this
[is]
my
friend,
O
daughters
of
Jerusalem.
