CHAPTER 3

On

my bed

at night

I sought

the one

I

love;

I sought him

but did not

find him.

I will arise

now

and go about

the city,

through the streets

and squares.

I will seek

the one

I

love.

So I sought him

but did not

find him.

I encountered

the watchmen

on their rounds

of the city:

“Have you seen the one

I

love?”

I had just

passed

them

when

I found

the one

I

love.

I held him

and would not

let go

until

I had brought

him to

my mother’s

house,

to

the chamber

of the one who conceived me.

O daughters

of Jerusalem,

I charge

you

by the gazelles

and

does

of the field:

Do not

arouse

or

awaken

love

until

the time is right.

Who

is this

coming up

from

the wilderness

like a column

of smoke,

scented

with myrrh

and frankincense

from all

the spices

of the merchant?

Behold,

it is Solomon’s

carriage,

escorted

by sixty

warriors

from the valiant

of Israel.

All

are skilled

with the sword,

experienced

in warfare.

Each

has his sword

at

his side

prepared for the terror

of night.

King

Solomon

has made

his carriage

out of the timber

of Lebanon.

He has made

its posts

of silver,

its base

of gold,

its seat

of purple fabric.

Its interior

is inlaid

with love

by the daughters

of Jerusalem.

Come out,

O daughters

of Zion,

and gaze

at King

Solomon,

wearing the crown

his mother

bestowed

on the day

of his wedding—

the day

of his heart’s

rejoicing.
