5 “I have ^(A)come into my garden, ^(B)my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my ^(C)myrrh along with my balsam.
I have eaten my honeycomb with my ^(D)honey;
I have ^(E)drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, ^(F)friends;
Drink and ^[a]drink deeply, lovers.”

² “I was asleep but my heart was awake.
A voice! My beloved was knocking:
‘Open to me, ^(G)my sister, my darling,
^(H)My dove, my perfect one!
For my head is ^[b]drenched with dew,
My ^(I)locks with the dew drops of the night.’
