Song of Songs 5:1-Song of Songs 6:3 - The Young Woman Dreams Of Marriage With Her Husband

¹ I Came to my garden, my sister, O spouse: I gathered my myrrh with my spices; I ate my droppings with my honey; I drank my wine with my milk: Eat, O friends; drink ye, and drink to the full, O beloved ones.

² I slept and my heart waked: the voice of my beloved knocks at the door; Open to me, my sister, my friend, my dove, my perfect one: my head was filled with dew, my locks with the drops of the night

³ I put off my tunic, and how shall I put it on? I washed my feet; how shall I defile them? ⁴ My beloved sent his hand from the hole, and my bowels were disquieted for him. ⁵ I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dropped myrrh, and my fingers, myrrh overflowing upon the hands of the bolt ⁶ I opened to my beloved, and my beloved turned about, he passed away: my soul went forth in his speaking: I sought and I found him not; I called him and he answered me not ⁷ They watching going round about in the city, found me; they struck me, they wounded me: they watching the wall took away my veil from me. ⁸ I adjured you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye shall find my beloved, what ye shall announce to him: I am pierced by love.

⁹ What is thy beloved above the beloved, O beautiful one among women? What thy beloved above the beloved, that thou didst thus adjure us?

¹⁰ My beloved is white and ruddy, bearing the standard of ten thousand. ¹¹ His head purified gold, his locks waving branches, black as a raven. ¹² His eyes as doves upon channels of waters washed with milk, sitting upon fulness. ¹³ His cheeks as beds of spices, towers of aromatic herbs: his lips lilies, dropping overflowing myrrh. ¹⁴ His hands rings of gold completed in Tarshish: his bowels wrought ivory covered over with sapphires. ¹⁵ His legs bases of white marble, founded upon of pure gold: his aspect as Lebanon, choice as the cedars. ¹⁶ His palate, sweetness: he is all loveliness. This my beloved, and this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

¹ Where went thy beloved, O beautiful one among women? where turned away thy beloved, and we will seek him with thee.

² My beloved went down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies. ³ I to my beloved, and my beloved to me: he feeding among the lilies.
