6 His left hand is under my head,

    and his right hand embraces me!

7 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,

    by the gazelles or the does of the field,

that you not stir up or awaken love

    until it pleases.

8 The voice of my beloved!

    Behold, he comes,

leaping over the mountains,

    bounding over the hills.

9 My beloved is like a gazelle

    or a young stag.

Behold, there he stands

    behind our wall,

gazing through the windows,

    looking through the lattice.

“Arise, my love, my beautiful one,

11 for behold, the winter is past;

    the rain is over and gone.

    the time of singing has come,

and the voice of the turtledove

13 The fig tree ripens its figs,

    and the vines are in blossom;

    they give forth fragrance.

Arise, my love, my beautiful one,

    and come away.

14 O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,

    in the crannies of the cliff,

let me see your face,

    let me hear your voice,

for your voice is sweet,

    and your face is lovely.

15 Catch the foxes for us,

    the little foxes

that spoil the vineyards,

    for our vineyards are in blossom.”

16 My beloved is mine, and I am his;

    he grazes among the lilies.

17 Until the day breathes

    and the shadows flee,

turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle

    or a young stag on cleft mountains.
