Song of Solomon 5:1-3

Revised Standard Version

5 I come to my garden, my sister, my bride,
    I gather my myrrh with my spice,
    I eat my honeycomb with my honey,
    I drink my wine with my milk.

Eat, O friends, and drink:
drink deeply, O lovers!

Another Dream

²I slept, but my heart was awake.
Hark! my beloved is 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.”
³I had put off my garment,
    how could I put it on?
I had bathed my feet,
    how could I soil them?
