Song of Solomon 2:8-13

International Children’s Bible

⁸ I hear my lover’s voice.
    He comes jumping across the mountains.
    He comes skipping over the hills!
⁹ My lover is like a gazelle or a young deer.
    Look, he stands behind our wall.
He stares in through the windows,
    looking through the blinds.
¹⁰ My lover spoke. He said to me,
    “Get up, my darling.
    Let’s go away, my beautiful one.
¹¹ Look, the winter is past.
    The rains are over and gone.
¹² Blossoms appear through all the land.
    The time has come to sing.
    The cooing of doves is heard in our land.
¹³ There are young figs on the fig trees.
    The blossoms on the vines smell sweet.
Get up, my darling.
    Let’s go away, my beautiful one.”
