The woman’s dream

Sng 2:16—3:5

The bride

16My dearest belongs to me and I belong to him—

the man grazing among the lilies.

17Until the daylight arrives and the shadows flee, turn.

My dearest resembles a gazelle or a young stag on the rugged mountains.

3On my bed in the night, I search for the one that my soul loves.

I searched for him, but I didn’t find him.

2I’ll get up now and go about in the city

in the streets and in the squares.

I will search for the man who my soul loves.

I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.

3The guards going around in the city found me:

“Have you seen the man whom my soul loves?”

4I’d hardly passed by the guards

when I found him whom my soul loves.

I held him and I wouldn’t let him go

until I’d brought him to my mother’s house

and to the room of the woman who conceived me.

5I strongly advise you, young women of Yerushalem,

by the female gazelles or the does in the countryside,

don’t awaken or stir love until it pleases.
