Song of Solomon 7:12-13
Contemporary English Version
12 At dawn let's slip out and see
if grapevines and fruit trees
are covered with blossoms.
When we are there,
I will give you my love.
13 Perfume from the magic flower[a]
fills the air, my darling.
Right at our doorstep
I have stored up for you
all kinds of tasty fruits.

12 Let us go early to the vineyards(A)
to see if the vines have budded,(B)
if their blossoms(C) have opened,
and if the pomegranates(D) are in bloom(E)—
there I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes(F) send out their fragrance,
and at our door is every delicacy,
both new and old,
that I have stored up for you, my beloved.(G)
