Song of Solomon 5:2-4
Lexham English Bible

Maiden’s Dream: Seeking and Not Finding

2 I was asleep but[a] my heart was awake.
    A sound! My beloved knocking![b]
“Open to me, my sister, my beloved,
    my dove, my perfect one!
For my head is full of dew,
    my hair drenched from the moist night air.”[c]
3 I have taken off my tunic, must I put it on?[d]
    I have bathed my feet, must I soil them?[e]
4 My beloved thrust his hand into the opening,
    and my inmost yearned for him.
