I have entered my garden, Mytreasure, Mypride!
I gathered myrrh with my spices,
and eat honeycomb with my honey.
I drink wine with my milk.

Oh, liver and beloved, eat and drink!
Yes, drink deeply if your love!

I slept, but my heartbwas awake,
when I heard my lover knocking and calling:
Open to me, my perfect one.
My head is drenched with dew,
my head with the dampness of the night.

But I responded,
I have taken off my clothes
Should I get dressed again?
I have washed my feet.
Should I get them soiled?

Mylover tried to unlatch the door,
and my heart thrilled within me.

I jumped upgo open the door for mylove,
and my hands dripped with perfume.
My fingers dripped with lovely myrrh
as I pulled back the bolt

I opened to my lover,
but he was gone!
My heart sank.
I searched for him
but could not find him anywhere.
I called to him,
but there was no reply.

The night watchmen found me
as they made their rounds.
They beat and bruised me
and stripped off my veil,
those watchmen on the walls.

Make this promise, o maidens-
if you find mylover,
tell him I am weak with love.
