Song of Solomon 5:4

1
I am come
into my garden, my sister,
my
spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
2
I sleep, but my heart waketh:
it is
the voice of my beloved that knocketh,
saying
, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew,
and
my locks with the drops of the night.
3
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
My beloved put in his hand by the hole
of the door
, and my bowels were moved for him.
5
I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped
with
myrrh, and my fingers
with
sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
6
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself,
and
was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
7
The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
8
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I
am
sick of love.
9
What
is
thy beloved more than
another
beloved, O thou fairest among women? what
is
thy beloved more than
another
beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
10
My beloved
is
white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
11
His head
is as
the most fine gold, his locks
are
bushy,
and
black as a raven.
12
His eyes
are
as
the eyes
of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk,
and
fitly set.
13
His cheeks
are
as a bed of spices,
as
sweet flowers: his lips
like
lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
14
His hands
are as
gold rings set with the beryl: his belly
is as
bright ivory overlaid
with
sapphires.
15
His legs
are as
pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance
is
as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16
His mouth
is
most sweet: yea, he
is
altogether lovely. This
is
my beloved, and this
is
my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
