Song of Solomon 5

1

I come to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gather my myrrh with my spice, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink: drink deeply, O lovers!

2

I slept, but my heart was awake. Hark! my beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night."

3

I had put off my garment, how could I put it on? I had bathed my feet, how could I soil them?

4

My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me.

5

I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt.

6

I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer.

7

The watchmen found me, as they went about in the city; they beat me, they wounded me, they took away my mantle, those watchmen of the walls.

8

I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love.

9

What is your beloved more than another beloved, O fairest among women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you thus adjure us?

10

My beloved is all radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand.

11

His head is the finest gold; his locks are wavy, black as a raven.

12

His eyes are like doves beside springs of water, bathed in milk, fitly set.

13

His cheeks are like beds of spices, yielding fragrance. His lips are lilies, distilling liquid myrrh.

14

His arms are rounded gold, set with jewels. His body is ivory work, encrusted with sapphires.

15

His legs are alabaster columns, set upon bases of gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars.

16

His speech is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

Song of Solomon 6

1

Whither has your beloved gone, O fairest among women? Whither has your beloved turned, that we may seek him with you?

2

My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

3

I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he pastures his flock among the lilies.

4

You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

5

Turn away your eyes from me, for they disturb me--Your hair is like a flock of goats, moving down the slopes of Gilead.

6

Your teeth are like a flock of ewes, that have come up from the washing, all of them bear twins, not one among them is bereaved.

7

Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.

8

There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and maidens without number.

9

My dove, my perfect one, is only one, the darling of her mother, flawless to her that bore her. The maidens saw her and called her happy; the queens and concubines also, and they praised her.

10

"Who is this that looks forth like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army with banners?"

11

I went down to the nut orchard, to look at the blossoms of the valley, to see whether the vines had budded, whether the pomegranates were in bloom.

12

Before I was aware, my fancy set me in a chariot beside my prince.

13

Return, return, O Shu'lammite, return, return, that we may look upon you. Why should you look upon the Shu'lammite, as upon a dance before two armies?
