The Beloved
1 I ahave come to my garden, my bsister, my spouse;
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice;
cI have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, O dfriends!
Drink, yes, drink deeply,
O beloved ones!
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice;
cI have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, O dfriends!
Drink, yes, drink deeply,
O beloved ones!
The Shulamite’s Troubled Evening
(To His Friends) The Shulamite
2 I sleep, but my heart is awake;
It is the voice of my beloved!
aHe knocks, saying,
“Open for me, my sister,1 my1 love,
My dove, my perfect one;
For my head is covered with dew,
My locks with the drops of the night.”
It is the voice of my beloved!
aHe knocks, saying,
“Open for me, my sister,1 my1 love,
My dove, my perfect one;
For my head is covered with dew,
My locks with the drops of the night.”
5 I arose to open for my beloved,
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
My fingers with liquid myrrh,
On the handles of the lock.
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
My fingers with liquid myrrh,
On the handles of the lock.
6 I opened for my1 beloved,
But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
My heart leaped up when he spoke.
aI sought him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he gave me no answer.
But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
My heart leaped up when he spoke.
aI sought him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7 aThe watchmen who went about the city found me.
They struck me, they wounded me;
The keepers of the walls
Took my veil away from me.
They struck me, they wounded me;
The keepers of the walls
Took my veil away from me.
