Shir Hashirim 3:1-3

Orthodox Jewish Bible

3 In the nights on my bed I sought him whom my nefesh loveth; I sought him, but I found him not.

² So I will rise then, and go about the city in the streets, and in the rechovot (open squares, places); I will seek him whom my nefesh loveth; I sought him, but found him not.

³ The shomrim (watchmen) that go about the city found me; to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my nefesh loveth?
