Song of Solomon 3:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ As soon as I had left them
    I found the one I love.
I held him. I would not let him go
    until I had brought him to my mother’s house.
    I brought him into the room where I was born.

⁵ Women of Jerusalem, promise me
    by the gazelles and the deer.
Promise not to wake love.
    Don’t excite my feelings of love
    until I’m ready.
⁶ Who is this coming out of the desert
    like a cloud of smoke?
Who is this that smells like myrrh, incense
    and other spices?
