1 I have come to my garden, my sister, my bride!I have gathered my myrrh and my spices.I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;I have drunk my wine and my milk.Eat, dear friends!Drink and get drunk on love![Woman]
2 I was sleeping, but my heart was awake.A sound! My love is knocking:[Man]"Open for me, my sister, my dearest,my dove, my perfect one!My head is soaked with dew,my hair, with the night mists."[Woman]
3 "I have taken off my tunic—why should I put it on again?I have bathed my feet—why should I get them dirty?"
4 My love put his hand in through the latch hole,and my body ached for him.
