The Young Woman Remembers One Spring Day with Her Beloved

[Bride]

I hear my beloved’s voice.
    Look! Here he comes,
        sprinting over the mountains,
        racing over the hills.
My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
    Look! There he stands behind our wall,
        peeking through the window,
        looking through the lattice.
10 My beloved said to me,
    “Get up, my true love, my beautiful one, and come with me.
11 Look! The winter is past.
    The rain is over and gone.
12 Blossoms appear in the land.
    The time of the songbird has arrived.
        The cooing of the mourning dove is heard in our land.
13 The green figs ripen.
    The grapevines bloom and give off a fragrance.
    Get up, my true love, my beautiful one, and come with me.
