Song of Solomon   2: 8-14

2:8 Bride to Chorus: The voice of my beloved! Behold, he arrives leaping along the mountains, jumping across the hills.

2:9 My beloved is like a doe and like a young stag.

2:10 Lo, he stands beyond our wall, gazing through the windows, watching through the lattices.

2:11 Lo, my beloved speaks to me:

2:12 Groom to Bride: Rise up, quickly, my love, my dove, my shapely one, and advance.

2:13 For winter has now past; the rain has decreased and gone away.

2:14 The flowers have appeared in our land; the time for pruning has arrived. The voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
