Love

All night long on my bed
I looked for the one my heart loves;
I looked for him but did not find him.
I will get up now and go about the city, through it streets and squares;
I will search for the one my heart loves. So I looked for him but did no find him.
The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city.
"Have you seen the one my heart loves?"
Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves.
I help him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother's house, to the room of the one who conceived me.
Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.

~Song of Songs 3:1-5~
