Maiden’s Dream (?): Seeking and Finding

• I sought[fn] him whom my heart[fn] loves.
• I sought him, but I did not find him.
  • 2 Now I will arise, and I will go about in the city, in the streets and in the squares;
• I will seek him whom my heart[fn] loves.
  • I sought him, but I did not find him.
  • 3 The sentinels who go about in the city found me. “Have you seen the one whom my heart[fn] loves?”
  • 4 Scarcely had I passed[fn] by them when I found him whom my heart[fn] loves.
• I held him and I would not let him go
  • until I brought him to the house of my mother,
    • into the bedroom chamber of she who conceived me.
