Ego flos campi
Language: Latin 
[ ... ]
En dilectus meus loquitur mihi.
   [Surge, propera, amica mea, 
   columba mea, formosa mea, et veni:]1
jam enim hiems transiit; imber abiit, et recessit.
Flores apparuerunt in terra nostra;
   tempus putationis advenit:
   vox turturis audita est in terra nostra;
ficus protulit grossos suos;
   vineæ florentes dederunt odorem suum.
   Surge, amica mea, speciosa mea, et veni:
[ ... ]
Dilectus meus mihi, et ego illi,
   qui pascitur inter lilia,

 ... 
My beloved spake, and said unto me,
   Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
For, lo, the winter is past,
   the rain is over and gone;
the flowers appear on the earth;
   the time of the singing of birds is come,
   and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
the fig tree putteth forth her green figs,
   and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell.
   Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
 ... 
My beloved is mine, and I am his. Alleluia.
 ...

Composition:

    Set to music by Henry Purcell (1658/9 - 1695), "My beloved spake", Z. 28, lines 10-13, 16
