11 Come, my beloved.
    Let’s go into the field.
    Let’s spend the night among the henna flowers.[a]
12 Let’s go to the vineyards early.
    Let’s see if the vines have budded,
        if the grape blossoms have opened,
        if the pomegranates are in bloom.
    There I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes[b] give off a fragrance,
    and at our door are all kinds of precious fruits.
    I have saved new and old things
    for you alone, my beloved.
