I Have Come to My Garden
I have come to my garden, my sister, my bride;
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, and drink;
drink freely, O beloved.

The Knock at the Door
I sleep, but my heart is awake.
The bride
A sound! My beloved is knocking:
“Open to me, my sister, my darling,
my dove, my flawless one.
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
I have taken off my robe—
must I put it back on?
I have washed my feet—
must I soil them again?
Reflect
Sit with this
She waited, and then he was gone. Where does love need you to get up now, not later?
On the City Walls
I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city.
They beat me and bruised me;
they took away my cloak,
those guardians of the walls.
O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you,
if you find my beloved,
tell him I am sick with love.
My Beloved
How is your beloved better than others,
O most beautiful among women?
How is your beloved better than another,
that you charge us so?
My beloved is dazzling and ruddy,
outstanding among ten thousand.
His head is purest gold;
his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
The bride
His eyes are like doves
beside the streams of water,
bathed in milk
and mounted like jewels.
His cheeks are like beds of spice,
towers of perfume.
His lips are like lilies,
dripping with flowing myrrh.
His arms are rods of gold
set with beryl.
His body is polished ivory
bedecked with sapphires.
His legs are pillars of marble
set on bases of pure gold.
His mouth is most sweet;
he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.

Back to the last line of her praise.
She ends her praise with two names for him. What is the second?
