Song of Solomon 5
1
Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
2
and my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3
I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
4
My heart pounded for him.
5
on the handles of the lock.
6
I called him, but he didn’t answer.
7
The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
8
that you tell him that I am faint with love.
9
that you do so adjure us?
10
The best among ten thousand.
11
His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
12
washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
13
His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
14
His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
15
His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16
daughters of Jerusalem.
