1
By night on my bed, I sought him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn`t find him.
2
I will get up now, and go about the city; In the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I didn`t find him.
3
The watchmen who go about the city found me; "Have you seen him whom my soul loves?"
4
I had scarcely passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother`s house, Into the chamber of her who conceived me.
