Song of Solomon 7:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ Come, darling, let's go out to the countryside
    and spend the night in the villages.^[a]
12 We will get up early and look at the vines
    to see whether they've started to grow,
    whether the blossoms are opening
    and the pomegranate trees are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
¹³ You can smell the scent of mandrakes,
    and all the pleasant fruits are near our door.
Darling, I have kept for you
    the old delights and the new.
