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!
