Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:1 - I have come in to my garden, my sister-spouse, I have plucked my myrrh with my spice, I have eaten my comb with my honey, I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, drink, Yea, drink abundantly, O beloved ones!
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:2 - I am sleeping, but my heart waketh: The sound of my beloved knocking! 'Open to me, my sister, my friend, My dove, my perfect one, For my head is filled with dew, My locks with drops of the night.'
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:3 - I have put off my coat, how do I put it on? I have washed my feet, how do I defile them?
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:4 - My beloved sent his hand from the net-work, And my bowels were moved for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:5 - I rose to open to my beloved, And my hands dropped myrrh, Yea, my fingers flowing myrrh, On the handles of the lock.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:6 - I opened to my beloved, But my beloved withdrew -- he passed on, My soul went forth when he spake, I sought him, and found him not. I called him, and he answered me not.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:7 - The watchmen who go round about the city, Found me, smote me, wounded me, Keepers of the walls lifted up my veil from off me.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:8 - I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved -- What do ye tell him? that I am sick with love!
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:9 - What is thy beloved above any beloved, O fair among women? What is thy beloved above any beloved, That thus thou hast adjured us?

Admiration by the Bride

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:10 - My beloved is clear and ruddy, Conspicuous above a myriad!
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:11 - His head is pure gold -- fine gold, His locks flowing, dark as a raven,
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:12 - His eyes as doves by streams of water, Washing in milk, sitting in fulness.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:13 - His cheeks as a bed of the spice, towers of perfumes, His lips are lilies, dropping flowing myrrh,
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:14 - His hands rings of gold, set with beryl, His heart bright ivory, covered with sapphires,
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:15 - His limbs pillars of marble, Founded on sockets of fine gold, His appearance as Lebanon, choice as the cedars.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:16 - His mouth is sweetness -- and all of him desirable, This is my beloved, and this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!
