Seeker Overlay ON

* Shulamite : By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves ; I sought him , but I did not find him . * I will rise now , and go about the city ; in the streets and in the broad places I will seek him whom my soul loves . I sought him , but I did not find him . * The watchmen who go about the city found me and I said , Have you seen him whom my soul loves ? * Scarcely had I passed by them , when I found him whom my soul loves . I took hold of him and would not let him go , until I had brought him into my mother ’s house , and into the room of her who conceived me . * I charge you , O daughters of Jerusalem , by the gazelles or by the does of the field , that you do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases . * Shulamite : Who is this coming out of the wilderness like columns of smoke , like the smoke of sacrifices of myrrh and frankincense , of all the fragrant powders of the merchant ? * Behold , it is Solomon ’s bed , with sixty mighty men around it , of the mighty of Israel . * They all hold swords , being expert in war . Every man has his sword on his thigh because of fear in the night . * King Solomon made himself a palanquin from trees of Lebanon . * 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 his wedding day , the day of the gladness of his heart .
