In Song

 

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.

Pater Clementissime

The Song Of Songs

Flowers appear on the earth

the season of singing has come

the cooing of doves is heard in our land
