7. I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,By the gazelles or by the does of the field,Do not stir up nor awaken loveUntil it pleases.
8. The voice of my beloved!Behold, he comesLeaping upon the mountains,Skipping upon the hills.
9. My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.Behold, he stands behind our wall;He is looking through the windows,Gazing through the lattice.
10. My beloved spoke, and said to me:“Rise up, my love, my fair one,And come away.
11. For lo, the winter is past,The rain is over and gone.
12. The flowers appear on the earth;The time of singing has come,And the voice of the turtledoveIs heard in our land.
13. The fig tree puts forth her green figs,And the vines with the tender grapesGive a good smell.Rise up, my love, my fair one,And come away!
