Song of Solomon 5:2-7

1. 2 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

2. 3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?

3. 4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.

4. 5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

5. 6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

6. 7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
