  • Song of Solomon 5:2-8
    I sleep, but my heart is awake;
    It is the voice of my beloved!
    He knocks, saying,
    " Open for me, my sister, my love,
    My dove, my perfect one;
    For my head is covered with dew,
    My locks with the drops of the night."
    I have taken off my robe;
    How can I put it on again?
    I have washed my feet;
    How can I defile them?
    My beloved put his hand
    By the latch of the door,
    And my heart yearned for him.
    I arose to open for my beloved,
    And my hands dripped with myrrh,
    My fingers with liquid myrrh,
    On the handles of the lock.
    I opened for my beloved,
    But my beloved had turned away and was gone.
    My heart leaped up when he spoke.
    I sought him, but I could not find him;
    I called him, but he gave me no answer.
    The watchmen who went about the city found me.
    They struck me, they wounded me;
    The keepers of the walls
    Took my veil away from me.
    I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
    If you find my beloved,
    That you tell him I am lovesick!
     
  • Song of Solomon 1:6
    Do not look upon me, because I am dark,
    Because the sun has tanned me.
    My mother’s sons were angry with me;
    They made me the keeper of the vineyards,
    But my own vineyard I have not kept.
     
  • Song of Solomon 2:2-3
    Like a lily among thorns,
    So is my love among the daughters. Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods,
    So is my beloved among the sons.
    I sat down in his shade with great delight,
    And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
     
  • Song of Solomon 2:10
    My beloved spoke, and said to me:
    “ Rise up, my love, my fair one,
    And come away.

     
  • Song of Solomon 3:1-5
    By night on my bed I sought the one I love;
    I sought him, but I did not find him.
    "I will rise now," I said,
    " And go about the city;
    In the streets and in the squares
    I will seek the one I love."
    I sought him, but I did not find him.
    The watchmen who go about the city found me;
    I said,
    " Have you seen the one I love?"
    Scarcely had I passed by them,
    When I found the one I love.
    I held him and would not let him go,
    Until I had brought him to the house of my mother,
    And into the chamber of her who conceived me.
    I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
    By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
    Do not stir up nor awaken love
    Until it pleases.
     
  • Song of Solomon 6:8
    There are sixty queens
    And eighty concubines,
    And virgins without number.

     
  • Song of Solomon 8:6
    Set me as a seal upon your heart,
    As a seal upon your arm;
    For love is as strong as death,
    Jealousy as cruel as the grave;
    Its flames are flames of fire,
    A most vehement flame.
