Song of Songs 2:11-13

New Catholic Bible

^{11     [a]}For see, the winter is past,
    the rains are over and gone.
¹² The flowers appear in the countryside;
    the season of joyful songs has arrived,
and the voice of the turtledove
    is heard in our land.
¹³ The fig tree puts forth its figs
    and the blossoms on the vine give forth their fragrance.
Arise, my beloved,
    my fair one, and come!”
