Song of Solomon 5:2-6 ▼

2 I was asleep, and my heart was aroused. A sound! My beloved is knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. For my head is full of dew, my locks of the drops of the night.”

3 I have taken off my garment—how do I put it on? I have washed my feet—how do I soil them?

4 My beloved stretched out his hand to the latch, and my bowels murmered for him.

5 I arose to open up for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, and my fingers covered over with myrrh on the palms of the bolt.

6 I opened for my beloved, and my beloved had turned away and had gone! My heart went forth at his speaking. I sought him, and could not find him; I called to him, and he did not answer me.
