Your invitation

My lover spoke and said to me,
   "Arise, my darling, my
    beautiful one, and come
     with me.            See!
         The winter is past
   the rains are over and gone.
      Flowers appear on the
        earth; the season of
     singing has come, the
        cooing of doves is
     heard in our land.  The
          fig tree forms its
 early fruit; the blossoming
       vines spread their
                       fragrance.
          Arise, come,
my darling; 
           my beautiful one,
  
           come with me.
