12 A locked garden is my sister, my bride,
A locked spring, a (A)sealed (B)fountain.
13 Your branches are an [a](C)orchard of (D)pomegranates
With (E)delicious fruits, (F)henna with nard plants,
14 (G)Nard and saffron, spice reed and (H)cinnamon,
With all the trees of (I)frankincense,
(J)Myrrh, and aloes, along with all the finest balsam oils.
15 You are a garden spring,
A well of [b](K)fresh water,
And flowing streams from Lebanon.”

The Bride

16 “Awake, north wind,
And come, wind of the south;
[c]Make my (L)garden breathe out fragrance,
May its balsam oils flow.
May (M)my beloved come into his garden
And eat its (N)delicious fruits!”

The Torment of Separation

The Groom

“I have (O)come into my garden, (P)my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my (Q)myrrh along with my balsam.
I have eaten my honeycomb with my (R)honey;
I have (S)drunk my wine with my milk.
Eat, (T)friends;
Drink and [d]drink deeply, lovers.”
