Song of Solomon 5:1-3
Lexham English Bible
5 I have come to my garden, my sister bride,
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice,
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey,
I have drunk my wine with my milk!
Eat, O friends! Drink and become drunk with love![a]
Maiden’s Dream: Seeking and Not Finding
2 I was asleep but[b] my heart was awake.
A sound! My beloved knocking![c]
“Open to me, my sister, my beloved,
my dove, my perfect one!
For my head is full of dew,
my hair drenched from the moist night air.”[d]
3 I have taken off my tunic, must I put it on?[e]
I have bathed my feet, must I soil them?[f]
