The voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.</font> 13 <font color=#CC0000>The fig tree has brought forth its green figs; the flowering vines bestow their odor. Rise up, my love, my brilliant one, and advance.</font> 14 <font color=#CC0000>My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollows of the wall, reveal to me your face. Let your voice sound in my ears. For your voice is sweet, and your face is graceful.</font> 15 Chorus to Groom and Bride: <font color=#008800>Capture for us the little foxes, which are tearing down the vines; for our vineyard has flourished.</font> 16 Bride to Chorus: <font color=#0000CC>My beloved is for me, and I am for him. He pastures among the lilies, until the day rises and the shadows decline.</font> 17 Bride to Groom: <font color=#0000CC>Return, O my beloved. Be like a doe and like a young stag upon the mountains of Bether.</font> Song of Solomon 2:8-17, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
