I desired my lover - Bible

On my bed at night,
I desired my lover
To whom my heart belongs,
But he wasn’t there.
I rose early and went seraching
In the streets and the crossings.
My heart belongs to him,
But I did not find him.

I came upon the watchman
Making rounds of the city.
I asked him if he had seen
To whom my heart belongs.

Soon after I found him,
Took hold of him,
And did not let him go
Till I took him to my mom's home.

O daughters of Jerusalem!
I earnestly ask you fast:
Do not stir up in love
Before it’s time for love.
