2. I slept, but my heart was awake. A sound! 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.” 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. I had put off my garment; how could I put it on? I had bathed my feet; how could I soil them? 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me. 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the bolt. 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
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. 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. The watchmen found me as they went about in the city; they beat me, they bruised me, they took away my veil, those watchmen of the walls. 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love. Others 
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. What is your beloved more than another beloved, O most beautiful among women? What is your beloved more than another beloved, that you thus adjure us? She 
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. My beloved is radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand. 
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. His head is the finest gold; his locks are wavy, black as a raven. 
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. His eyes are like doves beside streams of water, bathed in milk, sitting beside a full pool. 
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. His cheeks are like beds of spices, mounds of sweet-smelling herbs. His lips are lilies, dripping liquid myrrh. 
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. His arms are rods of gold, set with jewels. His body is polished ivory, bedecked with sapphires. 
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. His legs are alabaster columns, set on bases of gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as the cedars. 
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. His mouth is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
