The Beloved about Her Lover:
5:2 I was asleep, but my mind 1 was dreaming. 2
Listen! 3 My lover 4 is knocking 5 at the door! 6
The Lover to His Beloved:
“Open 7 for me, my sister, my darling,
my dove, my flawless one!
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
The Beloved to Her Lover:
5:3 “I have already taken off my robe – must I put it on again?
I have already washed my feet – must I soil them again?”
5:4 My lover thrust his hand 8 through 9 the hole, 10
and my feelings 11 were stirred 12 for him.
