Song of Songs 3:1-4

1In my bed at night I sought the one I love; I sought him, but did not find him.

2I will arise now and go about the city, through the streets and the plazas. I will seek the one I love. I sought him, but did not find him.

3The guards who go about the city found me. I asked them, “Have you seen the one I love?”

4I had just passed them when I found the one I love. I held on to him and would not let him go until I brought him to my mother’s house  — to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
