⁴ My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening;
    my heart began to pound for him.
⁵ I arose to open for my beloved,
    and my hands dripped with myrrh,^(A)
my fingers with flowing myrrh,
    on the handles of the bolt.
⁶ I opened for my beloved,^(B)
    but my beloved had left; he was gone.^(C)
    My heart sank at his departure.^[a]
I looked^(D) for him but did not find him.
    I called him but he did not answer.
