Song of Solomon 2:8-13

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁸ Listen! My love is approaching.
Look! Here he comes,
leaping over the mountains,^(A)
bounding over the hills.
⁹ My love is like a gazelle
or a young stag.^(B)
Look, he is standing behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattice.
¹⁰ My love calls to me:

M Arise,^(C) my darling.
Come away, my beautiful one.
¹¹ For now the winter is past;
the rain has ended and gone away.
¹² The blossoms appear in the countryside.
The time of singing^[a] has come,
and the turtledove’s cooing is heard in our land.^(D)
13 The fig tree ripens its figs;^(E)
the blossoming vines give off their fragrance.^(F)
Arise, my darling.
Come away, my beautiful one.
