Rise up my love
my fair one, come away.
For lo, the winter’s past
the rain is gone, it did not stay.
~
Open up, my love
Perfect one, my love
~
Until the day breaks
the shadows flee away.
Ravish my heart with the look of your eyes
how much better your love than wine.
~
Oh my love, so beautiful
Lovely, as Jerusalem
Turn your eyes away from me
For they have overcome, overcome me.
~
Open up to me my love
My dove, perfect one
For my head is covered with dew
My locks with drops of the night.
