Song of Songs 2:9-12

⁹My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag; look, he is standing behind our wall, gazing through the window, peering through the lattice.

¹⁰My beloved spoke to me and said, “Arise, my love; My beautiful one, come away with me.

¹¹Look, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone.

¹²The flowers have appeared in the land; the time for pruning and the singing of birds has come, and the sound of the doves is heard in our land.
