Maiden's Dream: Seeking And Not Finding

² (The Shulammite Bride)
“I was asleep, but my heart was awake.
A voice [in my dream]! My beloved was knocking:
‘Open to me, my sister, my darling,
My dove, my perfect one!
For my head is drenched with the [heavy night] dew;
My hair [is covered] with the dampness of the night.’

How can I put it on again?
I had washed my feet,
How could I get them dirty again?

And my feelings were aroused for him.

Put Off

Washed My Feet

Bathed My Feet
