My beloved spake and said to me, "Arise, my Love, my fair one, and come away. See! The winter is past; The rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth, The season of singing is come; And the cooing of turtledoves is heard in our land. The blossoming vines with their tender grapes Give out their sweet fragrance. Arise my fair one and come away."
