¹² The flowers have appeared in the land;
The time for ^[a]pruning has arrived;
And the voice of the ^(A)turtledove has been heard in our land.
¹³ The ^(B)fig tree has ripened its figs,
And the ^(C)vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.
Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along!’”

¹⁴ “^[b]O ^(D)my dove, ^(E)in the clefts of the ^[c]rock,
In the secret place of the steep ^[d]pathway,
Let me see your appearance,
^(F)Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your appearance is ^(G)lovely.”
