Song of Solomon 2:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Make a solemn pledge, daughters of Jerusalem,
        by the gazelles or the wild deer:
Don’t rouse, don’t arouse love
        until it desires.

⁸ Listen! It’s my lover: here he comes now,
        leaping upon the mountains,
        bounding over the hills.
⁹ My lover is like a gazelle
        or a young stag.
Here he stands now,
        outside our wall,
        peering through the windows,
        peeking through the lattices.
