Song of Solomon 4:12-5:1

New Century Version

¹² My sister, my bride, you are like a garden locked up,
    like a walled-in spring, a closed-up fountain.
¹³ Your limbs are like an orchard
    of pomegranates with all the best fruit,
filled with flowers and nard,
¹⁴ nard and saffron, calamus, and cinnamon,
    with trees of incense, myrrh, and aloes—
    all the best spices.
¹⁵ You are like a garden fountain—
    a well of fresh water
    flowing down from the mountains of Lebanon.

¹⁶ Awake, north wind.
    Come, south wind.
Blow on my garden,
    and let its sweet smells flow out.
Let my lover enter the garden
    and eat its best fruits.

5 I have entered my garden, my sister, my bride.
    I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey.
    I have drunk my wine and my milk.

Eat, friends, and drink;
    yes, drink deeply, lovers.
