Song of Songs 5:6-15

6I opened for my beloved, But my beloved had turned away and was gone. My heart leaped up when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

7The watchmen who went about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls Took my veil away from me.

8I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, That you tell him I am lovesick!

9What is your beloved More than another beloved, O fairest among women? What is your beloved More than another beloved, That you so charge us?

10My beloved is white and ruddy, Chief among ten thousand.

11His head is like the finest gold; His locks are wavy, And black as a raven.

12His eyes are like doves By the rivers of waters, Washed with milk, And fitly set.

13His cheeks are like a bed of spices, Banks of scented herbs. His lips are lilies, Dripping liquid myrrh.

14His hands are rods of gold Set with beryl. His body is carved ivory Inlaid with sapphires.

15His legs are pillars of marble Set on bases of fine gold. His countenance is like Lebanon, Excellent as the cedars.
