Song of Solomon  


5 : 1 Icame to my garden, mysister, my bride,I gathered mymyrrh with my spice,I ate myhoneycomb with my honey,Idrank my wine with my milk.OthersEat,friends, drink,and be drunk with love!
5 : 2 I slept, but my heart was awake.A sound! My beloved isknocking.Open to me, mysister, mylove,mydove, myperfect one,for my head is wet with dew,mylocks with the drops of the night.
5 : 3 I had put off my garment;how could I put it on?I hadbathed my feet;how could I soil them?
5 : 4 My beloved put his hand to the latch,and my heart was thrilled within me.
5 : 5 I arose to open to my beloved,and my hands dripped with myrrh,my fingers withliquid myrrh,on the handles of the bolt.
5 : 6 I opened to my beloved,but my beloved had turned and gone.My soul failed me when hespoke.I sought him, but found him not;I called him, but he gave no answer.
5 : 7 The watchmen found meas they went about in the city;they beat me, they bruised me,they took away my veil,those watchmen of the walls.
5 : 8 Iadjure you, Odaughters of Jerusalem,if you find my beloved,that you tell himI am sick with love.
5 : 9 What is your beloved more than another beloved,Omost beautiful among women?What is your beloved more than another beloved,that you thusadjure us?
5 : 10 My beloved is radiant andruddy,distinguished among ten thousand.
5 : 11 His head is the finest gold;his locks are wavy,black as a raven.
5 : 12 Hiseyes are like dovesbeside streams of water,bathed in milk,sitting beside a full pool.
5 : 13 Hischeeks are likebeds of spices,mounds of sweet-smelling herbs.His lips arelilies,drippingliquid myrrh.
5 : 14 His arms are rods of gold,set withjewels.His body is polished ivory,bedecked withsapphires.
5 : 15 His legs are alabaster columns,set on bases of gold.His appearance is likeLebanon,choice as the cedars.
5 : 16 Hismouthis most sweet,and he is altogether desirable.This is my beloved and this is my friend,Odaughters of Jerusalem.
