Seeker Overlay ON

* I am come into my garden , my sister , my spouse : I have gathered my myrrh with my spice ; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey ; I have drunk my wine with my milk : eat , O friends ; drink , yea , drink abundantly , O beloved . * I sleep , but my heart waketh : it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh , saying , Open to me , my sister , my love ra #yah #, my dove , my undefiled : for my head is filled with dew , and my locks with the drops of the night . * I have put off my coat ; how shall I put it on ? I have washed my feet ; how shall I defile them ? * My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door , and my bowels were moved for him . * I rose up to open to my beloved ; and my hands dropped with myrrh , and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh , upon the handles of the lock man #uwl #. * I opened to my beloved ; but my beloved had withdrawn himself , and was gone : my soul failed when he spake : I sought him , but I could not find him ; I called him , but he gave me no answer . * The watchmen that went about the city found me , they smote me , they wounded me ; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me . * I charge you , O daughters of Jerusalem , if ye find my beloved , that ye tell him , that I am sick of love . * What is thy beloved more than another beloved , O thou fairest among women ? what is thy beloved more than another beloved , that thou dost so charge us ? * My beloved is white and ruddy , the chiefest among ten thousand . * His head is as the most fine gold , his locks are bushy , and black as a raven . * His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters , washed with milk , and fitly set mille #th #. * His cheeks are as a bed of spices , as sweet flowers : his lips like lilies , dropping sweet smelling myrrh . * His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl : his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires . * His legs are as pillars of marble , set upon sockets of fine gold : his countenance is as Lebanon , excellent as the cedars . * His mouth is most sweet : yea , he is altogether lovely . This is my beloved , and this is my friend , O daughters of Jerusalem .
