I come to my garden, my sister, my bride; *

I gather my myrrh with m y spice.
Who is this that looks forth lke the dawn, *
fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army wth banners?
My beloved speaks and sys to me: *
Arise, my love, my fair one, and cme away.
Who is that coming up from the wlderness, *
leaning upon her bloved?
The maidens saw her and called her hppy; *
the queens also, nd they praised her.
Arise, my love, my fair one, and cme away. *
O my dove, let m see your face,
let me hear your voice; for your vice is sweet, *
and your fce is lovely.
How fair and pleasant you are, O lved one, *
delectabl maiden!
