6 My lover’s left hand is under my head,and his right arm holds me tight.
7 Women of Jerusalem, promise meby the gazelles and the deernot to awakenor excite my feelings of loveuntil it is ready.
8 I hear my lover’s voice.Here he comes jumping across the mountains,skipping over the hills.
9 My lover is like a gazelle or a young deer.Look, he stands behind our wallpeeking through the windows,looking through the blinds.
10 My lover spoke and said to me,“Get up, my darling;let’s go away, my beautiful one.
11 Look, the winter is past;the rains are over and gone.
12 Blossoms appear through all the land.The time has come to sing;the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
