10“I am my beloved’s,
         And his desire is for me.

11“Come, my beloved, let us go out into the country,
         Let us spend the night in the villages.

12“Let us rise early and go to the vineyards;
         Let us see whether the vine has budded
         And its blossoms have opened,
         And whether the pomegranates have bloomed.
         There I will give you my love.

13“The mandrakes have given forth fragrance;
         And over our doors are all choice fruits,
         Both new and old,
         Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.
