Song of Solomon 3

 ¹ All night long on my bed
       I looked for the one my heart loves;
       I looked for him but did not find him.

 ² I will get up now and go about the city,
       through its streets and squares;
       I will search for the one my heart loves.
       So I looked for him but did not find him.

 ³ The watchmen found me
       as they made their rounds in the city.
       "Have you seen the one my heart loves?"

 ⁴ Scarcely had I passed them
       when I found the one my heart loves.
       I held him and would not let him go
       till I had brought him to my mother's house,
       to the room of the one who conceived me.

 ⁵ Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you
       by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
       Do not arouse or awaken love
       until it so desires.
