Song of Solomon 5:4-6

The Voice

⁴     My love put his hand on the latch;
        my insides began to throb for him.
⁵     I leaped from my bed to let my love in.
        My hands were dripping sweet myrrh,
    My fingers were coated with myrrh
        as I reached for the handles of the lock.
⁶     I opened for my love, but he had turned away and was gone.
        He’d left, and my heart sank.
    I looked for him, but I did not see him.
        I called out to him, but he did not answer.
