7. Women of Jerusalem, promise meby the gazelles and the deernot to awakenor excite my feelings of loveuntil it is ready.
8. I hear my lover’s voice.Here he comes jumping across the mountains,skipping over the hills.
9. My lover is like a gazelle or a young deer.Look, he stands behind our wallpeeking through the windows,looking through the blinds.
10. My lover spoke and said to me,“Get up, my darling;let’s go away, my beautiful one.
11. Look, the winter is past;the rains are over and gone.
12. Blossoms appear through all the land.The time has come to sing;the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
13. There are young figs on the fig trees,and the blossoms on the vines smell sweet.Get up, my darling;let’s go away, my beautiful one.”
