I am come into my garden, my sister and my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice: I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey: I have drank my wine with my milk: eat, O friends: drink, yea drink abundantly, my beloved. I sleep, but my heart it waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love and my dove: for my head is filled with the dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
