Song of Songs 5:2-8 I was asleep, yet my heart was aroused; The sound of my darling knocking! Open to me, my sister, my dearest, My dove, my flawless one, For my head is filled with night mist, My locks with moisture of the night."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² I was asleep, yet my heart was aroused; The sound of my darling knocking! Open to me, my sister, my dearest, My dove, my flawless one, For my head is filled with night mist, My locks with moisture of the night." ³ I have stripped off my tunic; how should I put it on again? I have washed my feet; how should I dirty them again? ⁴ My darling put forth his hand into the latch hole, And my bowels clamored for him." ⁵ I arose to open for my darling; My hands dropped myrrh, And my fingers with overflowing myrrh--On the handgrips of the latch." ⁶ I opened for my darling, Yet my darling had vanished; he had passed aside. My soul had gone forth when he spoke; I sought him, yet I did not find him; I called him, yet he did not answer me." ⁷ The guards who go around in the city found me; They smote me; they injured me; They lifted my cape off me, those guards of the walls." ⁸ I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my darling, what shall you tell him? That I am ailing with love?
