9My kinsman is like a roe or a young hart on the mountains of Bæthel: behold, he is behind our wall, looking through the windows, peeping through the lattices.
10My kinsman answers, and says to me, Rise up, come, my companion, my fair one, my dove.
11For, behold, the winter is past, the rain is gone, it has departed.
12The flowers are seen in the land; the time of pruning has arrived; the voice of the turtle-dove has been heard in our land.
13The fig-tree has put forth its young figs, the vines put forth the tender grape, they yield a smell: arise, come, my companion, my fair one, my dove; yea, come.
