Song of Solomon 3: 1-4

 

1 On my bed at night I sought the man who is my sweetheart: I sought but could not find him!

2 So I shall get up and go through the city; in the streets and in the squares, I shall seek my sweetheart. I sought but could not find him!

3 I came upon the watchmen — those who go on their rounds in the city: ‘Have you seen my sweetheart?’

4 Barely had I passed them when I found my sweetheart. I caught him, would not let him go, not till I had brought him to my mother’s house, to the room where she conceived me!
