10 My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.
11 For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!

17 (A)Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved,
And be (B)like a gazelle
Or a young stag
Upon the mountains of [a]Bether.
