¹¹ Come, my lover.
    Let’s go out into the country.
    Let’s spend the night in the fields.
¹² Let’s go early to the vineyards.
    Let’s see if the buds are on the vines.
Let’s see if the blossoms have already opened
    and if the pomegranates have bloomed.
There I will give you my love.
¹³ The mandrake flowers give their sweet smell.
    And at our gates there are all the best fruits.
I have saved them for you, my lover,
    the old delights and the new.
