A Troubled Night
The Shulamite
“And go about the city;
In the streets and in the squares
I will seek the one I love.”
I sought him, but I did not find him.
When I found the one I love.
I held him and would not let him go,
Until I had brought him to the ahouse of my mother,
And into the1 chamber of her who conceived me.
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
| << Song of Solomon 2:17 | Song of Solomon 3:2 >> |
