The Bride says:
On my bed at night I sought him whom my heart loves – I sought him but I did not find him.

I will rise then and go about the city; in the streets and crossings I will seek Him whom my heart loves.

I sought him but I did not find him.

The watchmen came upon me, as they made their rounds of the city: Have you seen him whom my heart loves?

I had hardly left them when I found him whom my heart loves.
