Song of Solomon 2:13

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.

The fig tree ripens its figs; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come away, my darling; come away with me, my beautiful one.”

14 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.

15 Catch for us the foxes— the little foxes that ruin the vineyards— for our vineyards are in bloom.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
