¹ I am come into my garden, my sister, my bride: I nip off my myrrh with my spice; I eat wildwood fare with honey; I drink my wine with my milk: eat, my friends and drink; and get drunk my friends.

² I am sleeping, but my heart is aroused with the sound of my darling knocking: Open to me, my sister, my shepherdess, my dove, my flawless one: for my head is filled with nightmist, and my locks with the moistures of the night.

³ I have put off my tunic; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I make them dirty?

⁴ My darling put forth his hand from the hole, and my heart was moved for him.

⁵ I rose up to open to my darling; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the latch.

⁶ I opened for my darling; but my darling eluded me, and had passed by my soul. I went forth to speak of him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

⁷ They found for me the men guarding and going around the city, they smote me, they injured me; the ones guarding the walls lifted a garment of mine.

⁸ I charge you, O daughters of Yerushalayim, if ye find my darling, tell him, that I am ailing of love.

⁹ Who is your darling from another darling, lovely women? Who is your darling more than another darling, that you so charge us?

¹⁰ My beloved is elegant and ruddy, and outstanding among ten thousand.

¹¹ His head is glittering gold, his locks are pendulous and black as a raven.

¹² His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fully set.

¹³ His cheeks are as a tower of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.

¹⁴ His hands are as rolls of gold filled in with topaz: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with caphires.

¹⁵ His legs are as columns of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his appearance is as Lebanon, choice as the cedars.

¹⁶ The taste of him is sweetness: This darling of mine, this shepherd of mine is coveted by the daughters of Yerushalayim.
