Arise my love, my fair one
Language: English
Arise my love, my fair one, and come away. O, my dove that art in the clefts of the rocks, in the covert of the steep place, Let me see thy countenance O my dove, Let me hear thy voice, For sweet is thy voice and thy countenance is comely.
Solomon Chapter 2:13
