Song of Songs 2:14-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

14 My dove in the clefts of the rock,[a]
    in the secret recesses of the cliff,
Let me see your face,
    let me hear your voice,
For your voice is sweet,
    and your face is lovely.”
15 W Catch us the foxes,[b] the little foxes
    that damage the vineyards; for our vineyards are in bloom!
