My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one and come away.
For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come
and the voice of the turtledove is heard on our land.
…Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away!”
(Song of Solomon 2:10-13)
