Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:1 - Let my kinsman come down into his garden, and eat the fruit of his choice berries. I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spices; I have eaten my bread with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink; yea, brethren, drink abundantly.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:2 - I sleep, but my heart is awake: the voice of my kinsman knocks at the door, saying, Open, open to me, my companion, my sister, my dove, my perfect one: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:4 - My kinsman put forth his hand by the hole of the door, and my belly was moved for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:5 - I rose up to open to my kinsman; my hands dropped myrrh, my fingers choice myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:6 - I opened to my kinsman; my kinsman was gone: my soul failed at his speech: I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he answered me not.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:7 - The watchmen that go their rounds in the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:8 - I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the powers and the virtues of the field: if ye should find my kinsman, what are ye to say to him? That I am wounded with love.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:9 - What is thy kinsman more than another kinsman, O thou beautiful among women? what is thy kinsman more than another kinsman, that thou hast so charged us?
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:10 - My kinsman is white and ruddy, chosen out from myriads.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:11 - His head is as very fine gold, his locks are flowing, black as a raven.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:12 - His eyes are as doves, by the pools of waters, washed with milk, sitting by the pools.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:13 - His cheeks are as bowls of spices pouring forth perfumes: his lips are lilies, dropping choice myrrh.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:14 - His hands are as turned gold set with beryl: his belly is an ivory tablet on a sapphire stone.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:15 - His legs are marble pillars set on golden sockets: his form is as Libanus, choice as the cedars.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:16 - His throat is most sweet, and altogether desirable. This is my kinsman, and this is my companion, O daughters of Jerusalem.
