Song of Songs 4:12-5:1
New International Version
12 You are a garden(A) locked up, my sister, my bride;(B)
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.(C)
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates(D)
with choice fruits,
with henna(E) and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,(F)
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh(G) and aloes(H)
and all the finest spices.(I)
15 You are[a] a garden(J) fountain,(K)
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.
She
16 Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,(L)
that its fragrance(M) may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved(N) come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits.(O)
He
5 I have come into my garden,(P) my sister, my bride;(Q)
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;
I have drunk my wine and my milk.(R)
Friends
Eat, friends, and drink;
drink your fill of love.

Song of Solomon 4:12-5:1
New Living Translation
12 You are my private garden, my treasure, my bride,
a secluded spring, a hidden fountain.
13 Your thighs shelter a paradise of pomegranates
with rare spices—
henna with nard,
14 nard and saffron,
fragrant calamus and cinnamon,
with all the trees of frankincense, myrrh, and aloes,
and every other lovely spice.
15 You are a garden fountain,
a well of fresh water
streaming down from Lebanon’s mountains.
Young Woman
16 Awake, north wind!
Rise up, south wind!
Blow on my garden
and spread its fragrance all around.
Come into your garden, my love;
taste its finest fruits.
Young Man
5 I have entered my garden, my treasure,[a] my bride!
I gather myrrh with my spices
and eat honeycomb with my honey.
I drink wine with my milk.
Young Women of Jerusalem
Oh, lover and beloved, eat and drink!
Yes, drink deeply of your love!
