Song of Solomon 5:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

5 I come to my garden, my sister, my bride;
    I gather my myrrh with my spice,
    I eat my honeycomb with my honey,
    I drink my wine with my milk.

Eat, friends, drink,
and be drunk with love.

Another Dream

Listen! my beloved is knocking.
“Open to me, my sister, my love,
    my dove, my perfect one;
for my head is wet with dew,
    my locks with the drops of the night.”
³I had put off my garment;

I had bathed my feet;
    how could I soil them?
