Song of Songs 4:12-5:1

Modern English Version

¹² A garden locked is my sister, my bride,
    a fountain sealed.
¹³ Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
    with all choicest fruits,
    henna with nard,
¹⁴     nard and saffron,
    calamus and cinnamon,
    with all trees of frankincense,
    myrrh and aloes,
    with all the chief spices—
¹⁵ a garden fountain,
    a well of living water,
    and flowing streams from Lebanon.

¹⁶ Awake, O north wind,
    and come, O south wind!
Blow upon my garden,
    that its spices may flow out.
Let my beloved come to his garden,
    and eat its choicest fruits.

5 I come to my garden, my sister, my bride;
    I gather my myrrh with my spice;
I eat my honeycomb with my honey;
    I drink my wine with my milk.

Eat, friends!
    Drink, and be drunk with love!
