1. I have come to my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, friends! Drink and drink your fill, beloved ones.
2. I was asleep, but my heart was awake. The voice of my beloved knocks: "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my flawless one—for dew fills my head, night's drops my locks."
3. I have stripped off my robe; how shall I wear it? I have washed my feet; how shall I soil them?
4. My beloved extended his hand through the hole, and my heart throbbed for him.
5. I rose to open for my beloved, and my hands dripped myrrh, my fingers flowing myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
6. I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had withdrawn and passed on. My soul went out when he spoke. I sought him, but did not find him; I called him, but he did not answer me.
7. The watchmen patrolling the city found me; they struck me and wounded me; the guardians of the walls took my veil from me.
8. I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, tell him that I am lovesick.
9. How is your beloved superior to any beloved, beautiful one among women? How is your beloved superior to any beloved, that you adjure us so?
10. My beloved is bright and ruddy, outstanding among myriads.
11. His head is like pure fine gold; his locks are bushy, black as a raven.
12. His eyes are like doves beside the watercourses, bathed in milk, perched upon full jewels.
13. His cheeks are like a bed of spices, like towers of perfumes; his lips like lilies dropping flowing myrrh.
14. His hands are rings of gold filled with beryl; his belly is bright ivory covered with sapphires.
15. His legs are pillars of marble founded on bases of fine gold; his appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16. His mouth is sweetness; he is completely desirable. This is my beloved, and this is my companion, daughters of Jerusalem.
