11 Come, my lover,
    let’s go out into the field;
    let’s spend the night in the villages.
12 Let’s get up early and go to the vineyards.
    Let’s see if the vines are in bloom.
Let’s see if the blossoms have opened
    and if the pomegranates are in bloom.
    There I will give you my love.

13 Smell the mandrakes[a]
    and all the pleasant flowers by our door.
I have saved many pleasant things for you, my lover,
    pleasant things, new and old.
