Surge speciosa mea et veni
Columba mea in foraminibus petrae, in caverna maceriae,
ostende faciem tuam, sonet vox in auribus meis.
Vox enim tua dulcis et facies decora.

Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs,
let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice.
For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely
