Song of Solomon 2:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 For look! The winter is over;
the rainy season[a] has turned and gone away.[b]
12 The blossoms appear[c] in the land;[d]
the time of singing[e] has arrived;[f]
the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree puts forth her figs,
and the vines are in blossom; they give fragrance.
Arise,[g] my beloved! Come, my beauty!”[h]
