Song of Songs 5:2-7 - Maiden's Dream: Seeking And Not Finding

² I [was] asleep but my heart was awake. A sound! My beloved knocking! "Open to me, my sister, my beloved, my dove, my perfect one! For my head is full of dew, {my hair drenched from the moist night air}."

³ I have taken off my tunic, {must I put it on}? I have bathed my feet, {must I soil them}? ⁴ My beloved thrust his hand into the opening, and my inmost yearned for him. ⁵ I myself arose to open to my beloved; my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh upon the handles of the bolt. ⁶ I opened myself to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone; my heart sank when he turned away. I sought him, but I did not find him; I called him, but he did not answer me. ⁷ The sentinels making rounds in the city found me; they beat me, they wounded me; they took my cloak away from me-- {those sentinels on the walls}!
