Wedding flowers 2

I belong to my lover,
and his desire is for me.
Come, my lover, let us go to the countryside,
let us spend the night in the villages.
Let us go early to the vineyards
to see if the vines have budded,
if their blossoms have opened,
and if the pomegranates are in bloom—
there I will give you my love.
Song of Songs 7:10-12

I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.
Like a lily among thorns
is my darling among the maidens.
