Song of Solomon 4:12-5:1
English Standard Version
12 A garden locked is my (A)sister, my bride,
a spring locked, (B)a fountain (C)sealed.
13 Your shoots are (D)an orchard of pomegranates
with all (E)choicest fruits,
(F)henna with (G)nard,
14 nard and saffron, (H)calamus and (I)cinnamon,
with all trees of (J)frankincense,
(K)myrrh and (L)aloes,
with all (M)choice spices—
15 a garden fountain, a well of (N)living water,
and flowing streams from (O)Lebanon.
16 Awake, O north wind,
and come, O south wind!
Blow upon my (P)garden,
let its spices flow.
Together in the Garden of Love

He
5 I (T)came to my garden, my (U)sister, my bride,
I gathered my (V)myrrh with my spice,
I ate my (W)honeycomb with my honey,
I (X)drank my wine with my milk.
Others
Eat, (Y)friends, drink,
and be drunk with love!
Song of Solomon 4:12-5:1
Common English Bible
12 An enclosed garden is my sister, my bride;
an enclosed pool, a sealed spring.
13 Your limbs are an orchard of pomegranates
with all kinds of luscious fruit,
henna, and spices:
14 nard and saffron,
sweet cane and cinnamon,
with all scented woods,
myrrh, and aloes,
with the very choicest perfumes!
15 You are a garden spring, a well of fresh water,
streams from Lebanon.
16 Stir, north wind, and come, south wind!
Blow upon my garden;
let its perfumes flow!
[Woman]
Let my love come to his garden;
let him eat its luscious fruit!
[Man]
5 I have come to my garden, my sister, my bride!
I have gathered my myrrh and my spices.
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine and my milk.
Eat, dear friends!
Drink and get drunk on love!
