I have come to my garden, my sister bride,
    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 and become drunk with love![a]

Maiden’s Dream: Seeking and Not Finding

    my dove, my perfect one!
For my head is full of dew,
    my hair drenched from the moist night air.”[d]
