“My beloved extended his hand through the opening [of the door],
And my feelings were aroused for him.

“I arose to open for my beloved;
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
And my fingers with liquid [sweet-scented] myrrh,
On the handles of the bolt.

My heart went out to him when he spoke.
I searched for him, but I could not find him;
I called him, but he did not answer me.

I arose to open for my beloved,
    and my hands dripped with myrrh,(A)
my fingers with flowing myrrh,
    on the handles of the bolt.
I opened for my beloved,(B)
    but my beloved had left; he was gone.(C)
    My heart sank at his departure.[a]
I looked(D) for him but did not find him.
    I called him but he did not answer.
