Song of Songs 2:9-17

9My belovedH1730 is likeH1819 a roeH6643 or a youngH6082 hartH354: behold, he standethH5975 behindH310 our wallH3796, he looketh forthH7688 at the windowsH2474, shewingH6692 himself through the latticeH2762.1 10My belovedH1730 spakeH6030, and saidH559 unto me, Rise upH6965, my loveH7474, my fair oneH3303, and come awayH3212. 11For, lo, the winterH5638 is pastH5674, the rainH1653 is overH2498 and goneH1980; 12The flowersH5339 appearH7200 on the earthH776; the timeH6256 of the singingH2158 of birds is comeH5060, and the voiceH6963 of the turtledoveH8449 is heardH8085 in our landH776; 13The fig treeH8384 putteth forthH2590 her green figsH6291, and the vinesH1612 with the tender grapeH5563 giveH5414 a good smellH7381. AriseH6965, my loveH7474, my fair oneH3303, and come awayH3212.

14O my doveH3123, that art in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, in the secretH5643 places of the stairsH4095, let me seeH7200 thy countenanceH4758, let me hearH8085 thy voiceH6963; for sweetH6156 is thy voiceH6963, and thy countenanceH4758 is comelyH5000. 15TakeH270 us the foxesH7776, the littleH6996 foxesH7776, that spoilH2254 the vinesH3754: for our vinesH3754 have tender grapesH5563.

16My belovedH1730 is mine, and I am his: he feedethH7462 among the liliesH7799. 17Until the dayH3117 breakH6315, and the shadowsH6752 flee awayH5127, turnH5437, my belovedH1730, and be thou likeH1819 a roeH6643 or a youngH6082 hartH354 upon the mountainsH2022 of BetherH1336.2
