Song of Solomon 2:10
8 Listen! My beloved approaches. Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains, bounding over the hills.
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look, he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice.
My beloved calls to me, “Arise, my darling. Come away with me, my beautiful one.
11 For now the winter is past; the rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers have appeared in the countryside; the season of singing has come, and the cooing of turtledoves is heard in our land.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
