I am come{H935} into my garden,{H1588} my sister,{H269} [my] bride:{H3618} I have gathered{H717} my myrrh{H4753} with my spice;{H1313} I have eaten{H398} my honeycomb{H3293} with my honey;{H1706} I have drunk{H8354} my wine{H3196} with my milk.{H2461} Eat,{H398} O friends;{H7453} Drink,{H8354} yea, drink abundantly,{H7937} O beloved.{H1730}

I was asleep,{H3463} but my heart{H3820} waked:{H5782} It is the voice{H6963} of my beloved{H1730} that knocketh,{H1849} [saying], Open{H6605} to me, my sister,{H269} my love,{H7474} my dove,{H3123} my undefiled;{H8535} For my head{H7218} is filled{H4390} with dew,{H2919} My locks{H6977} with the drops{H7447} of the night.{H3915}

I have put off{H6584} my garment;{H3801} How{H349} shall I put it on?{H3847} I have washed{H7364} my feet;{H7272} how{H349} shall I defile{H2936} them?

My beloved{H1730} put in{H7971} his hand{H3027} by{H4480} the hole{H2356} [of the door], And my heart{H4578} was moved{H1993} for him.

I rose up{H6965} to open{H6605} to my beloved;{H1730} And my hands{H3027} dropped{H5197} with myrrh,{H4753} And my fingers{H676} with liquid{H5674} myrrh,{H4753} Upon the handles{H3709} of the bolt.{H4514}

I opened{H6605} to my beloved;{H1730} But my beloved{H1730} had withdrawn{H2559} himself, [and] was gone.{H5674} My soul{H5315} had failed{H3318} me when he spake:{H1696} I sought{H1245} him, but I could not find{H4672} him; I called{H7121} him, but he gave me no answer.{H6030}

The watchmen{H8104} that go about{H5437} the city{H5892} found{H4672} me, They smote{H5221} me, they wounded{H6481} me; The keepers{H8104} of the walls{H2346} took away{H5375} my mantle{H7289} from me.

I adjure{H7650} you, O daughters{H1323} of Jerusalem,{H3389} If ye find{H4672} my beloved,{H1730} That ye tell{H5046} him, that I am sick{H2470} from love.{H160}

What is thy beloved{H1730} more than [another] beloved,{H1730} O thou fairest{H3303} among women?{H802} What is thy beloved{H1730} more than [another] beloved,{H1730} That thou{H3602} dost so adjure{H7650} us?

My beloved{H1730} is white{H6703} and ruddy,{H122} The chiefest{H1713} among ten thousand.{H7233}

His head{H7218} is [as] the most{H3800} fine gold;{H6337} His locks{H6977} are bushy,{H8534} [and] black{H7838} as a raven.{H6158}

His eyes{H5869} are like doves{H3123} beside the water -{H4325} brooks,{H650} Washed{H7364} with milk,{H2461} [and] fitly set.{H3427}

His cheeks{H3895} are as a bed{H6170} of spices,{H1314} [As] banks of sweet{H4840} herbs:{H4026} His lips{H8193} are [as] lilies,{H7799} dropping{H5197} liquid{H5674} myrrh.{H4753}

His hands{H3027} are [as] rings{H1550} of gold{H2091} set{H4390} with beryl:{H8658} His body{H4578} is [as] ivory{H8127} work{H6247} overlaid{H5968} [with] sapphires.{H5601}

His legs{H7785} are [as] pillars{H5982} of marble,{H8336} set{H3245} upon sockets{H134} of fine gold:{H6337} His aspect{H4758} is like Lebanon,{H3844} excellent{H977} as the cedars.{H730}

His mouth{H2441} is most sweet;{H4477} Yea, he is altogether lovely.{H4261} This is my beloved,{H1730} and this is my friend,{H7453} O daughters{H1323} of Jerusalem.{H3389}
