Song of Songs 5

American Standard Version

1I am comeH935 into my gardenH1588, my sisterH269, my brideH3618: I have gathered my myrrhH4753 with my spice; I have eatenH398 my honeycomb with my honeyH1706; I have drunkH7937 my wineH3196 with my milkH2461. EatH398, O friendsH7453; DrinkH8354, yea, drinkH8354 abundantly, O beloved.2I was asleep, but my heartH3820 waked: It is the voiceH6963 of my beloved that knocketh, saying, OpenH6605 to me, my sisterH269, my love, my doveH3123, my undefiled; For my headH7218 is filledH4390 with dewH2919, My locksH6977 with the drops of the nightH3915.3I have putH3847 off my garmentH3801; howH349 shall I putH3847 it on? I have washedH7364 my feetH7272; howH349 shall I defile them?4My beloved put in his handH3027 by the holeH2356of the door, And my heart was moved for him.5I roseH6965 up to openH6605 to my beloved; And my handsH3027 dropped with myrrhH4753, And my fingersH676 with liquid myrrhH4753, Upon the handles of the boltH4514.6I openedH6605 to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was goneH3318. My soulH5315 had failed me when he spake: I soughtH1245 him, but I could not findH4672 him; I calledH7121 him, but he gave me no answerH6030.7The watchmenH8104 that goH5437 about the cityH5892 foundH4672 me, They smote me, they woundedH5221 me; The keepersH8104 of the wallsH2346 tookH5375 awayH5375 my mantle from me.8I adjureH7650 you, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, If ye findH4672 my beloved, That ye tellH5046 him, that I am sickH2470 from loveH160.9What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among womenH802? What is thy beloved more than another beloved, That thou dost so adjureH7650 us?10My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among tenH7233 thousandH7233.11His headH7218 isasthe most fine goldH3800; His locksH6977 are bushy, and blackH7838 as a ravenH6158.12His eyesH5869 are like dovesH3123 beside the water-brooks, WashedH7364 with milkH2461, and fitly set.13His cheeksH3895 are as a bedH6170 of spicesH1314, Asbanks of sweet herbs: His lipsH8193 are as liliesH7799, dropping liquid myrrhH4753.14His handsH3027 areasrings of goldH2091 set with beryl: His body isasivoryH8127 work overlaid with sapphiresH5601.15His legsH7785 areaspillarsH5982 of marble, set upon sockets of fineH8336 goldH6337: His aspect is like LebanonH3844, excellent as the cedarsH730.16His mouthH2441 is most sweet; Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friendH7453, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389.
