Song of Solomon 3:1-5

On my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loves;

I sought him, but found him not.

I will rise now and go about the city,

In the streets and in the squares;

I will seek him whom my soul loves.

I sought him, but found him not.

The watchmen found me as they went about in the city.

“Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”

Scarcely had I passed them when I found him whom my soul loves.

I held him, and would not let him go

Until I had brought him into my mother’s house,

And into the chamber of her who conceived me.

I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,

By the gazelles or the does of the field,

That you not stir up

Or awaken love until it pleases.”

【Song of Solomon‬ ‭5‬:‭7】

The watchmen found me as they went about in the city; they beat me, they bruised me, they took away my veil, those watchmen of the walls.
