3:3 The night watchmen found me – the ones who guard the city walls.
“Have you seen my beloved?”
6:12
There please give me your myrrh,
O daughter of my princely people.
The Beloved about Her Lover:
3:1 All night long
I longed for
I longed for
The Beloved to Her Lover:
1:7 Tell me, O you whom my heart
where do you pasture your sheep?
Where do you rest your sheep during the midday heat?
Tell me lest
beside the flocks of your companions!
3:2 “I will arise
and throughout the streets
I will search for my beloved.”
I searched for him but I did not find him.
5:6 I opened for my beloved,
but my lover had already turned
I fell into despair
I looked for him but did not find him;
I called him but he did not answer me.
3:4 Scarcely
when I found my beloved!
I held onto him
until I brought him to my mother’s house,
to the bedroom chamber
