Song of Solomon 3:1-3

Contemporary English Version

3 While in bed at night,
I reached for the one I love
    with heart and soul.
I looked for him,
    but he wasn't there.
² So I searched through the town
    for the one I love.
I looked on every street,
    but he wasn't there.
³ I even asked the guards
    patrolling the town,
“Have you seen the one
    I love so much?”
