Song of Songs 2:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹ My beloved is like a gazelle
    or a young stag.
Look where he stands
    behind our wall,
peering in through the windows,
    gazing through the lattice.
¹⁰ My beloved speaks,
    and he says to me:
“Arise, my beloved,
    my fair one, and come!
^{11     [a]}For see, the winter is past,
    the rains are over and gone.
