Come, my loved one, let us go out into the field; let us take rest among the cypress-trees.

My love is to me as a branch of the cypress-tree in the vine-gardens of En-gedi.

Cedar-trees are the pillars of our house; and our boards are made of fir-trees.

As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my loved one among the sons. I took my rest under his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

Spikenard and safron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.

I went down into the garden of nuts to see the green plants of the valley, and to see if the vine was in bud, and the pomegranate-trees were in flower.
