Song of Solomon 3:1

Love for othersLoneliness
On my bed at night I sought the one I love; I sought him, but did not find him.

2 I will arise now and go about the city, through the streets and squares. I will seek the one I love. So I sought him but did not find him.

3 I encountered the watchmen on their rounds of the city: “Have you seen the one I love?”
