6. I opened the door for my lover,but he had already gone.How I wanted to hear his voice!I looked for him, but couldn't find him;I called to him, but heard no answer.
7. The watchmen patrolling the city found me;they struck me and bruised me;the guards at the city wall tore off my cape.
8. Promise me, women of Jerusalem,that if you find my lover,you will tell him I am weak from passion.
9. Most beautiful of women,is your lover different from everyone else?What is there so wonderful about himthat we should give you our promise?
