Song of Solomon 5:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ I opened the door for my lover,
    but my lover had left and was gone.
    When he spoke, he took my breath away.
I looked for him, but I could not find him;
    I called for him, but he did not answer.
⁷ The watchmen found me
    as they patrolled the city.
They hit me and hurt me;
    the guards on the wall took away my veil.
⁸ Promise me, women of Jerusalem,
    if you find my lover,
    tell him I am weak with love.
