The Bride and Her Beloved

1I have comeH935 to my gardenH1588, my sisterH269, my brideH3618; I have gatheredH717 my myrrhH4753 withH5973 my spiceH1313. I have eatenH398 my honeycombH3293 withH5973 my honeyH1706; I have drunkH8354 my wineH3196 withH5973 my milkH2461.

EatH398, O friendsH7453, and drinkH8354;drink freelyH7937, O belovedH1730.

2IH589 sleepH3463, but my heartH3820 is awakeH5782.A soundH6963! My belovedH1730 is knockingH1849:“OpenH6605 to me, my sisterH269, my darlingH7474,my doveH3123, my flawless oneH8535.My headH7218 is drenchedH4390 with dewH2919,my hairH6977 with the dampnessH7447 of the nightH3915.”

3I have taken offH6584 my robeH3801—must IH349 put it back onH3847?I have washedH7364 my feetH7272—must IH349 soil them againH2936?4My belovedH1730 putH7971 his handH3027 toH4480 the latchH2356;my heartH4578 poundedH1993 for himH5921.5IH589 rose upH6965 to openH6605 for my belovedH1730.My handsH3027 drippedH5197 with myrrhH4753,my fingersH676 with flowingH5674 myrrhH4753onH5921 the handlesH3709 of the boltH4514.6IH589 openedH6605 for my belovedH1730,butH1730 he had turnedH2559 and goneH5674.My heartH5315 sankH3318 at his departureH1696.I sought himH1245 but did notH3808 find himH4672.I calledH7121, but he did notH3808 answerH6030.

7I encounteredH4672 the watchmenH8104 on their roundsH5437 of the cityH5892.They beat meH5221 and bruised meH6481;they took awayH5375 my cloakH7289 H5921,those guardiansH8104 of the wallsH2346.

8O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, I adjureH7650 youH853, ifH518 you findH4672 my belovedH1730 H4100, tellH5046 him IH589 am sickH2470 with loveH160.

9HowH4100 is your belovedH1730 better thanH1730 others, O most beautifulH3303 among womenH802? HowH4100 is your belovedH1730 better than anotherH1730, that youH3602 charge us soH7650?
