Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you
by the gazelles and the wild does of the field:
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time.[a](A)

Listen! My love is approaching.
Look! Here he comes,

or a young stag.(C)
Look, he is standing behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattice.
