¹⁰ In response my lover said to me:
“Get yourself up, my darling,
    my pretty one, and come, come!^[a]
11 For behold, the winter has past,
    the rain is over, it has gone.
¹² Blossoms appear in the land,
    the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtle-dove
    is heard in our land.
