"My darling speaks; he is saying to me,
“Get up, my love! My beauty! Come away!
11
For you see that the winter has passed,
the rain is finished and gone,
12
the flowers are appearing in the countryside,
the time has come for [the birds] to sing,
and the cooing of doves can be heard in the land.
13
The fig trees are forming their unripe figs,
and the grapevines in bloom give out their perfume.
Get up, my love, my beauty!
