Ensueño de la esposa

LA ESPOSA:

En mi lecho, por las noches, he buscado
al que ama mi alma(A);
lo busqué, mas no lo hallé(B).
«Me levantaré ahora, y andaré por la ciudad;
por las calles y por las plazas(C)
buscaré[a] al que ama mi alma».
Lo busqué, mas no lo hallé.
Me hallaron los guardas que rondan la ciudad(D),
y les dije: «¿Habéis visto al que ama mi alma?».
Apenas los había pasado
cuando hallé al que ama mi alma(E);
lo agarré y no quise soltarlo(F),
hasta que lo introduje en la casa de mi madre(G)
y en la alcoba de la que me concibió.
