Song of Solomon 3:3-5

Common English Bible

³ The guards found me,
        those who make their rounds in the city.
“The one whom I love with all my heart—
        have you seen him?”
⁴ No sooner did I depart from them
        than I found the one whom I love with all my heart.
I held on to him and now I won’t let him go,
        until I’ve brought him to my mother’s house,
        to the chamber of the one who conceived me.
