The Woman

10 I am my beloved’s,
    and his desire is for me.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields,
    and lodge in the villages;
12 let us go out early to the vineyards,
    and see whether the vines have budded,
whether the grape blossoms have opened
    and the pomegranates are in bloom.
    There I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
    and at our doors are all choice fruits,
new as well as old,
    which I have laid up for you, my beloved.
