Chapter 3
1
On my bed, at night, I sought him whom my heart loves. I sought but did not find him.
2
So I will rise and go through the City; in the streets and the squares I will seek him whom my heart loves. … I sought but did not find him.
3
The watchmen came upon me on their rounds in the City: ‘Have you seen him whom my heart loves?’
4
Scarcely had I passed them than I found him whom my heart loves. I held him fast, nor would I let him go till I had brought him into my mother’s house, into the room of her who conceived me.
THE BRIDEGROOM
5
I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, by the hinds of the field, not to stir my love, nor rouse it, until it please to awake.
THIRD POEM
6
What is this coming up from the desert like a column of smoke, breathing of myrrh and frankincense and every perfume the merchant knows?
7
See, it is the litter of Solomon. Around it are sixty champions, the flower of the warriors of Israel;
8
all of them skilled swordsmen, veterans of battle. Each man has his sword at his side, against alarms by night.
9
King Solomon has made himself a throne of wood from Lebanon.
10
The posts he has made of silver, the canopy of gold, the seat of purple; the back is inlaid with ebony.
11
Daughters of Zion, come and see King Solomon, wearing the diadem with which his mother crowned him on his wedding day, on the day of his heart’s joy.
