Mutual Possession Refrain

10 I belong to my beloved,[a]
    and he desires me![b]

Rendezvous in the Countryside

11 Come, my beloved, let us go out to the countryside;[c]
    let us spend the night[d] in the villages.
12 Let us rise early to go[e] to the vineyards;
    let us see whether the vine has budded,[f]
whether the grape blossom has opened,
    and whether the pomegranates are in bloom;[g]
there I will give my love to you.
