Song of Solomon 7:12
10 I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me.
11 Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside; let us spend the night among the wildflowers.
Let us go early to the vineyards to see if the vine has budded, if the blossom has opened, if the pomegranates are in bloom— there I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes send forth a fragrance, and at our door is every delicacy, new as well as old, that I have treasured up for you, my beloved.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
