[Groom]

My bride, my sister, I will come to my garden.
    I will gather my myrrh with my spice.
    I will eat my honeycomb with my honey.
    I will drink my wine with my milk.
    Eat, my friends!
    Drink and become intoxicated with expressions of love!

The Young Woman Dreams of Marriage with Her Husband

[Bride]

I sleep, but my mind is awake.
    Listen! My beloved is knocking.

[Groom]

    Open to me, my true love, my sister,
    my dove, my perfect one.
    My head is wet with dew,
        my hair with the dewdrops of night.

[Bride]

I have taken off my clothes! Why should I put them on again?
    I have washed my feet! Why should I get them dirty again?
