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.
They struck me, they wounded me;
The keepers of the walls
Took my veil away from me.
The Daughters of Jerusalem
More than another beloved,
aO fairest among women?
What is your beloved
More than another beloved,
That you so1 charge us?
