1. By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2. I said, I will rise now, and go about the city; In the streets and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3. The watchmen that go about the city found me; To whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
