Song of Songs 3:1-4 By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he hearkened not to me.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he hearkened not to me. ² I will rise now, and go about in the city, in the market-places, and in the streets, and I will seek him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but I found him not. ³ The watchmen who go their rounds in the city found me. I said, Have ye seen him whom my soul loves? ⁴ It was as a little while after I parted from them, that I found him whom my soul loves: I held him, and did not let him go, until I brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
