Original text and translations

Latin text Ego dormio, et cor meum vigilat. Vox dilecti mei pulsantis: Aperi mihi, soror mea, amica mea, columba mea, immaculata mea, quia caput meum plenum est rore, et cincinni mei guttis noctium. Surrexi ut aperirem dilecto meo; at ille declinaverat atque transierat. Adjuro vos, filiæ Jerusalem, si inveneritis dilectum meum, ut nuntietis ei quia amore langueo.

English translation I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night. I rose up to open to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
