Song of Solomon 5:1-6

New American Standard Bible

5 “I have ^(A)come into my garden, ^(B)my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my ^(C)myrrh along with my balsam.
I have eaten my honeycomb with my ^(D)honey;
I have ^(E)drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, ^(F)friends;
Drink and ^[a]drink deeply, lovers.”

² “I was asleep but my heart was awake.
A voice! My beloved was knocking:
‘Open to me, ^(G)my sister, my darling,
^(H)My dove, my perfect one!
For my head is ^[b]drenched with dew,
My ^(I)locks with the dew drops of the night.’
³ I have ^(J)taken off my dress,
How can I put it on again?
I have ^(K)washed my feet,
How can I dirty them again?
⁴ My beloved extended his hand through the opening,
And my ^(L)feelings were stirred for him.
⁵ I arose to open to my beloved;
And my hands ^(M)dripped with myrrh,
And my fingers with drops of myrrh,
On the handles of the bolt.
⁶ I opened to my beloved,
But my beloved had ^(N)turned away and had gone!
My ^[c]heart went out to him as he ^(O)spoke.
I ^(P)searched for him but I did not find him;
I ^(Q)called him but he did not answer me.
