8. The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh, Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.
9. My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: Behold, he standeth behind our wall; He looketh in at the windows; He glanceth through the lattice.
10. My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11. For, lo, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone;
12. The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;
13. The fig-tree ripeneth her green figs, And the vines are in blossom; They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14. O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, In the covert of the steep place, Let me see thy countenance, Let me hear thy voice; For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
