Song of songs. c. 2. v.9. My Beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold there is my Beloved standing behind our wall gazing in at the windows, looking through the lattice.

DOVE SONG
+
My Dove is stood beyond our walls
and should I leave Him there?
He bids me join Him where He is
His shame and loneliness to share.
+
I was asleep with heart awaked
my Dove was at my door
He wooed with tender words of love
and I could make Him wait no more.
+
My Dove put His hand to the latch
my heart thrilled with delight
I rose to open up to Him
but He was gone into the night.
+
Sustain me with raisins
refresh me with apples
for I am sick with love.
+
My heart had failed me when He spoke
I sought but found Him not
I cried out to Him in my sorrow
My Lord, my Dove forsake me not.
+
Oh where is my Beloved gone?
and my Dove where is He turned?
city girls speak much about love
there is a love which may not be learned.
+
There is my Beloved, my Dove
He's pasturing His sheep
see Him gather up His lilies
I knew my heart's pledge He would keep.
