Song of Songs 3:1-4

1Night after night on my bed I looked for the one I love. I looked for him but did not find him.

2I will get up now and roam around the city, in the streets, and in the squares. I will look for the one I love. I looked for him but did not find him.

3The watchmen making their rounds in the city found me. ⌞I asked,⌟ “Have you seen the one I love?”

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