“My own, my bride, I come e* into my garden
to gather me balsam and myrrh,
to eat my honey in the comb
to drink my wine and milk.”
(Eat away, dear ones, drink your fill of love!)
2I slept, but my heart lay waking;
O dreamed--ah! there is my darling knocking!
“Open to me, my own,” he calls
“my dear, my dove, my paragon!
My head is drenched with dew
my hair with drops of the night.”
3“But I have doffed my robe
why should I don it?
My feet are bathed;
why should I soil them?”
4Then my darling put his hand in
his right hand at the door
and my heart yearned for him
how my soul fainted when I heard him!
5So I rose to let my darling in,
my hands all moist with myrrh,
my fingers' wet with liquid myrrh,
that dripped on the catch of the bolt.
6I opened to my darling,
but, my darling, he had gone
I sought him, but I could not find him,
I called, he never answered.
7The watchmen met me on their rounds,
struck me and wounded me
they robbed me of my mantle
these warders of the walls.
8O maidens of Jerusalem, I charge you
if you find my darling
tell my darling this
that I am lovesick.
9“And what is your darling more than another,
O fairest of women?
What is your darling above all others,
that you charge us thus?”
10Fresh and ruddy is my darling,
the pick of ten thousand;
11his head is a crown of gold,
his curls black as the raven,
12his eyes like doves upon the water,
bathed in milk, limpid and swimming,
13his cheeks are beds of balsam-flower,
banks of sweet perfume
his lips are lilies red
breathing liquid myrrh,
14his fingers are golden tapers
tipped with topaz pink,
his body is wrought of ivory
blue-veined with sapphire,
15his limbs are marble columns
resting on sockets of gold
he towers to the eye like Lebanon,
as lordly as a cedar,
16his kisses are utterly sweet--
he is all a delight!
And that is my darling, my dear,
O maidens of Jerusalem!
