Song of Songs 5:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² I was sleeping, but my heart was awake.
The sound of my beloved knocking!
“Open to me, my sister, my love,
    my dove, my perfect one,
for my head is wet with dew,
    my locks with the drops of the night.”^(A)
3 I had put off my garment;
    how could I put it on again?
I had bathed my feet;
    how could I soil them?^(B)
4 My beloved thrust his hand into the opening,
    and my inmost being yearned for him.
