A    8  “Listen! My beloved! Behold, he is coming, Climbing on the mountains, Leaping on the hills!

B    9  “My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.

C    [Me:  He is seeing her]    Behold, he is standing behind our wall, He is looking through the windows, He is peering  /  through the lattice.

D    10  “My beloved responded and said to me, ‘Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along.

E    11  ‘For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.  12  ‘The flowers have already appeared in the land; The time has arrived for pruning the vines,

F    And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.

E’   13  ‘The fig tree has ripened its figs, And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.

D’   Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along!‘”

C’    [Me:  She wants to see him]    14  “O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret place of the steep pathway,    a    Let me see your form,    b    Let me hear your voice;    b’    For your voice is sweet,    a’    And your form is lovely.”

B’   15  “Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, While our vineyards are in blossom.”  16  “My beloved is mine, and I am his; He pastures his flock among the lilies.  17  “Until the cool of the day when the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle Or a young stag

A’   on the mountains of Bether.”
