The Bride Adores Her Beloved

The voice of my beloved!
    Behold, he comes,
leaping (A)over the mountains,
    bounding over the hills.
My beloved is like (B)a gazelle
    or a young stag.
Behold, there he stands
    behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
    looking through the lattice.
10 My beloved speaks and says to me:
(C)“Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
    and come away,
11 for behold, the winter is past;
    (D)the rain is over and gone.
12 (E)The flowers appear on the earth,
    the time of singing[a] has come,
and the voice of (F)the turtledove
    is heard in our land.
13 (G)The fig tree ripens its figs,
    and (H)the vines are in blossom;
    they give forth fragrance.
(I)Arise, my love, my beautiful one,
    and come away.
