<poem>
:Rise up, my love,
Come, bride of Christ,
:my dove, my fair one, and come away.
and accept the crown
:For now the winter is past,
that the Lord has prepared for you for ever.
:the rain is over and gone.
</poem>
:The flowers appear on the earth;
:the time of pruning is at hand.
:The voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;
:the fig-tree puts forth her green figs;
:the flourishing vineyards have given forth their fragrance.
:Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
 
Cantus firmus: Come, bride of Christ.


'''Comment:''' There could hardly be a clearer example of the use of a Song of Songs text to address the Virgin Mary, in view of the cantus firmus, which makes the connection by calling Mary Christ's bride. - [[Mick Swithinbank]]
