The bride says:
On my bed at night I sought him whom my heart loves
I sought him but I did not find him.
I will rise then and go about the city;
in the streets and crossings
I will seek Him whom my heart loves.
I sought him but I did not find him.
The watchmen came upon me as they made their rounds of the city:
Have you seen him whom my heart loves?
I had hardly left them
when I found him whom my heart loves.
