12 The flowers appear on the earth;
    the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtle-dove
    is heard in our land.

    and the vines are in blossom;
    they give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one,

    let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet,
    and your face is lovely.
