Song of Songs 4:12-5:1
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
a garden[a] locked, a fountain sealed.(A)
13 Your channel[b] is an orchard of pomegranates
with all choicest fruits,
henna with nard,(B)
14 nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon,
with all trees of frankincense,
myrrh and aloes,
with all chief spices—(C)
15 a garden fountain, a well of living water,
and flowing streams from Lebanon.(D)
16 Awake, O north wind,
and come, O south wind!
Blow upon my garden
that its fragrance may be wafted abroad.
Let my beloved come to his garden
that he may eat its choicest fruits.(E)
5 I come to my garden, my sister, my bride;
I gather my myrrh with my spice;
I eat my honeycomb with my honey;
I drink my wine with my milk.
Eat, friends, drink,
and be drunk with love.(F)
