“Arise, my darling;

My beautiful one, come away with me!

The Song of Songs 2:13

2:13 The fig tree has budded,

the vines have blossomed and give off their fragrance.

Arise, come away my darling;

my beautiful one, come away with me!”

The Song of Songs 4:4

4:4 Your neck is like the tower of David

built with courses of stones;

one thousand shields are hung on it –

all shields of valiant warriors.

The Song of Songs 6:6

6:6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep

coming up from the washing;

each has its twin;

not one of them is missing.

my companions are listening attentively for your voice;

let me be the one to hear it!
