The Union of Love
10 “aI am my beloved’s,
And his bdesire is for me.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go out into the fields,
Let us spend the night in the villages.
12 Let us rise early and go to the vineyards;
Let us asee whether the vine has flourished
And its blossoms have opened,
And whether the pomegranates have bloomed.
There I will give you my love.
13 The amandrakes have given forth fragrance;
And over our doors are all bchoice fruits,
Both new and old,
Which I have treasured up for you, my beloved.
