sing highbrow songs_Chapter 5

My sister, my bride, I entered my garden, picked my myrrh and spices, and ate my honey chamber and honey. I drank my wine and milk. My friends, please eat, my dear, please drink, and drink plenty.

I sleep on my body, but my heart wakes up. This is the voice of my beloved. He knocked on the door and said, “My sister, my beloved, my dove, my perfect person, please open the door for me, because my head is covered in dew, and my hair is dripping with the night dew.”.

I replied, “I have taken off my clothes, how can I put them on again?”? I washed my feet, how can I stain them again?

My beloved reached out his hand through the doorway, and I was moved by him.

I’ll get up and open the door for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, and my fingers dripped with myrrh juice on the latch.

I opened the door to my beloved. My beloved has already turned around and left. When he spoke, I was restless. I searched for him, but couldn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.

The patrolling guards in the city met me, hit me, and injured me. The person guarding the city wall took away my shawl.

O daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you. If you meet my beloved, tell him that I am sick from longing for love.

What is the strength of your beloved, the most beautiful among women, over others. What is the strength of your beloved compared to the beloved of others? Just charge us like this.

My beloved, white and red, surpassing ten thousand people.

His portrait is of exquisite gold. His hair is thick and droopy, black like a crow.

His eyes are like the eyes of doves by the stream, washed with milk and perfectly fitted.

His cheeks are like fragrant flower beds, like fragrant grass beds. His lips are like lilies, dripping with myrrh juice.

His hands are like golden tubes, inlaid with aquamarine jade. His body is like carved ivory, surrounded by sapphires.

His legs are like pillars of white jade, resting on a seat of pure gold. His shape is like Lebanon, and his beauty is like a cedar tree.

His mouth is extremely sweet. He is completely adorable. O daughters of Jerusalem, this is my beloved and my friend.
