Song of Songs 3:1-4 On my couch during the nights I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ On my couch during the nights I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. ² Oh, I must rise now, and go about in the city in the streets, and in the open places; I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. ³ Then found me the watchmen that walked about the city. “Have ye seen him whom my soul loveth?” ⁴ Scarcely had I passed away from them, when I found him whom my soul loveth: I laid fast hold of him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that had born me.
