o me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
SSol5:3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
SSol5:4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.
SSol5:5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
SSol5:6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
SSol5:7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
SSol5:8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
SSol5:9 What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
SSol5:10 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
SSol5:11 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
SSol5:12 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
SSol5:13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
