# Song of Solomon 5 [[Song of Solomon 4|←]] • [[Song of Solomon 6|→]] --- ### 1 I am come into my garden, my sister, spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. ### 2 I sleep, but my heart waketh: the voice of my beloved that knocketh, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, my locks with the drops of the night. ### 3 I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them? ### 4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole and my bowels were moved for him. ### 5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped myrrh, and my fingers sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. ### 6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. ### 7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. ### 8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I sick of love. ### 9 What thy beloved more than beloved, O thou fairest among women? what thy beloved more than beloved, that thou dost so charge us? ### 10 My beloved white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. ### 11 His head the most fine gold, his locks bushy, black as a raven. ### 12 His eyes as of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, fitly set. ### 13 His cheeks as a bed of spices, sweet flowers: his lips lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. ### 14 His hands gold rings set with the beryl: his belly bright ivory overlaid sapphires. ### 15 His legs pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. ### 16 His mouth most sweet: yea, he altogether lovely. This my beloved, and this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
