Lyrics:

My beloved spake, and said unto me,
Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away.
For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of the singing of birds is come,
And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land
The figtree putteth forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grape give a good smell.
Arise my love, my fair one and come away.
