Song of Songs 5:2-8

2I sleepH3463, but my heartH3820 wakethH5782: it is the voiceH6963 of my belovedH1730 that knockethH1849, saying, OpenH6605 to me, my sisterH269, my loveH7474, my doveH3123, my undefiledH8535: for my headH7218 is filledH4390 with dewH2919, and my locksH6977 with the dropsH7447 of the nightH3915. 3I have put offH6584 my coatH3801; howH349 shall I put it onH3847? I have washedH7364 my feetH7272; howH349 shall I defileH2936 them? 4My belovedH1730 put inH7971 his handH3027 byH4480 the holeH2356 of the door, and my bowelsH4578 were movedH1993 for him.1 5I rose upH6965 to openH6605 to my belovedH1730; and my handsH3027 droppedH5197 with myrrhH4753, and my fingersH676 with sweet smellingH5674 myrrhH4753, upon the handlesH3709 of the lockH4514.2 6I openedH6605 to my belovedH1730; but my belovedH1730 had withdrawnH2559 himself, and was goneH5674: my soulH5315 failedH3318 when he spakeH1696: I soughtH1245 him, but I could not findH4672 him; I calledH7121 him, but he gave me no answerH6030. 7The watchmenH8104 that went aboutH5437 the cityH5892 foundH4672 me, they smoteH5221 me, they woundedH6481 me; the keepersH8104 of the wallsH2346 took awayH5375 my veilH7289 from me. 8I chargeH7650 you, O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, if ye findH4672 my belovedH1730, that ye tellH5046 him, that I am sickH2470 of loveH160.3
