Protection of Love and the Coming Spring

Song 2:3-13

2
Chapter 2
3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the sons. In his shade I delighted and sat down, and his fruit was sweet to my palate. 4 He brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me is love. 5 Support me with raisin cakes; spread me with apples, for I am sick with love. 6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me. 7 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles or the rams of the field not to arouse or awaken love until it desires. 8 Listen! My beloved is coming, leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills. 9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag among the stags. Look, he stands behind our wall, gazing in through the windows, peering through the lattices. 10 My beloved answered and said to me, "Rise up, my companion, my beauty, and go." 11 For look, autumn has passed, the rain is gone, it has passed away. 12 Buds have appeared in the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. 13 The fig tree puts forth its figs in clusters, and the vines with blossoms give a pleasing aroma. Arise, my companion, my Divine beauty/glory manifestation in Zion, and go.
