Song of Solomon 3:2

¹  By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

²  I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

³  The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

⁴  It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
