a

sick
with love.

For now

their
fragrance .
Arise

come
away
with
me
, my beautiful
one. ”

O
my dove in the
clefts of the rock, in the
crevices
of the cliff
, let
me see your
face
, let
me hear your
voice ;
for your
voice is sweet, and your
countenance
is
lovely
.
My dove ,
in clefts of the rock, In a
secret
place
of the ascent
, Cause
me to
see thine
appearance
, Cause
me to
hear thy
voice ,
For thy
voice `
is '
sweet, and thy
appearance

Catch
for us the
foxes —
the
little foxes that
ruin
the
vineyards —
for

ye
for us foxes ,
Little foxes --
destroyers
of
vineyards ,

vineyards.
My beloved is mine and I am his;
he
pastures
his flock
among the lilies .
My beloved `
is '
mine ,
and I `
am '
his ,
Who
is
delighting
among the lilies ,
Before
the day breaks
and shadows flee
, turn, my beloved, and
be
like
a gazelle
or a young stag
on the mountains of Bether.
Till
the day doth
break
forth,
And the
shadows have
fled
away
, Turn, be
like,
my beloved, To
a roe,
or to
a young one
of
the
harts,
On the mountains of separation!
