The Bride’s Dream

1OnH5921 my bedH4904 at nightH3915 I soughtH1245 the oneH853 IH5315 loveH157; I sought himH1245, but did notH3808 find himH4672.2I will ariseH6965 nowH4994 and go aboutH5437 the cityH5892, through the streetsH7784 and squaresH7339. I will seekH1245 the oneH853 IH5315 loveH157. So I sought himH1245 but did notH3808 find himH4672.

3I encounteredH4672 the watchmenH8104 on their roundsH5437 of the cityH5892:“Have you seenH7200 the one IH5315 loveH157?”4I had justH4592 passedH5674 them whenH5704 I foundH4672 the oneH853 IH5315 loveH157.I held himH270 and would notH3808 let goH7503untilH5704 I had brought himH935 toH413 my mother’sH517 houseH1004,toH413 the chamberH2315 of the one who conceived meH2029.

5O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, I adjureH7650 youH853 by the gazellesH6643 andH176 doesH355 of the fieldH7704: Do notH518 arouseH5782 orH518 awakenH5782 loveH160 untilH5704 the time is rightH2654.

6WhoH4310 is thisH2063 coming upH5927 fromH4480 the wildernessH4057like a columnH8490 of smokeH6227,scentedH6999 with myrrhH4753 and frankincenseH3828from allH3605 the spicesH81 of the merchantH7402?7BeholdH2009, it is Solomon’sH8010 carriageH4296,1escortedH5439 by sixtyH8346 of the mightiest menH1368 of IsraelH3478.8AllH3605 are skilledH270 with the swordH2719,experiencedH3925 in warfareH4421.EachH376 has his swordH2719 atH5921 his sideH3409prepared for the terrorH6343 of the nightH3915.

9KingH4428 SolomonH8010 has madeH6213 his carriageH668out of the timberH6086 of LebanonH3844.10He has madeH6213 its postsH5982 of silverH3701,its baseH7507 of goldH2091, its seatH4817 of purpleH713 fabric.Its interiorH8432 is inlaidH7528 with loveH160by the daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389.

11Come outH3318, O daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726,and gazeH7200 at KingH4428 SolomonH8010,wearing the crown with whichH5850 his motherH517 crownedH5849 himon the dayH3117 of his weddingH2861—the dayH3117 of his heart’sH3820 rejoicingH8057.
