Song of Solomon 3:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

3 Upon my bed at night
    I sought him whom my soul loves;
I sought him, but found him not;
    I called him, but he gave no answer.^[a]
2 ‘I will rise now and go about the city,
    in the streets and in the squares;
I will seek him whom my soul loves.’
    I sought him, but found him not.
³ The sentinels found me,
    as they went about in the city.
‘Have you seen him whom my soul loves?’
