night

love;

not
find
him.
By
night
on my bed I sought him
whom
my

found
him not
.
I will arise
now and go about the city ,
through
the streets and squares.
I will seek the
one
I
love.

I sought him but did
not
find
him.
`
I said',
I
will rise
now ,
and go about the city ;

I
encountered
the watchmen on
their
rounds
of
the city :
“Have

seen
the
one
I love
? ”
The watchmen that
go
about
the city found
me;
`To
whom
I said',
Saw
ye
him
whom
my
soul
loveth
?
I had
just
passed them when I found the
one
I
love.
I held him and would not let go until I had brought him to
my mother’s
house, to
the chamber of the
one
who
conceived me.
It
was
but
a
little
that
I passed from
them ,
When I found him
whom
my
soul
loveth:
I held him ,
and would not let him
go ,
Until I had brought him into
my mother's
house, And
into
the chamber of her
that
conceived me.

you,

love ,
Until he
