Song of Solomon

Song of Solomon 2:11–13

¹¹For now the winter is past;

the rain is over and gone.

¹²The flowers have appeared in the countryside;

the season of singing^c has come,

and the cooing of turtledoves

is heard in our land.

¹³The fig tree ripens its figs;

the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.

Arise, come away, my darling;

come away with me, my beautiful one.”
