Seeker Overlay ON

* By night on my bed I sought the one I love ; I sought him , but I did not find him . * "I will rise now ," I said , "And go about the city ; In the streets and in the squares I will seek the one I love ." I sought him , but I did not find him . * The watchmen who go about the city found me ; I said , "Have you seen the one I love ?" * Scarcely had I passed by them , When I found the one I love . I held him and would not let him go , Until I had brought him to the house of my mother , And into the chamber of her who conceived me . * I charge you , O daughters of Jerusalem , By the gazelles or by the does of the field , Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases . * Who is this coming out of the wilderness Like pillars of smoke , Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense , With all the merchant 's fragrant powders ? * Behold , it is Solomon 's couch , With sixty valiant men around it , Of the valiant of Israel . * They all hold swords , Being expert in war . Every man has his sword on his thigh Because of fear in the night . * Of the wood of Lebanon Solomon the King Made himself a palanquin : * He made its pillars of silver , Its support of gold , Its seat of purple , Its interior paved with love By the daughters of Jerusalem . * Go forth , O daughters of Zion , And see King Solomon with the crown With which his mother crowned him On the day of his wedding , The day of the gladness of his heart .
