Song of Songs 2:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ Look! The winter is past.
    The rains are over and gone.
¹² Flowers are appearing on the earth.
    The season for singing has come.
The cooing of doves
    is heard in our land.
¹³ The fig trees are producing their early fruit.
    The flowers on the vines are giving off their sweet smell.
Rise up and come, my love.
    Come with me, my beautiful one.’ ”
