My beloved spoke
and said unto me:
"Rise up , my love, my fair one,
and come, come away,
come, come away!"
I sleep, but my heart lies awake;
a whispering voice does say:
"Arise, my love, my fair one,
and come, come away!
Come, come away!"
I am my beloved's,
my beloved is mine,
until the day breaks
and shadows fall away.
Come, come, come,
come, come away!
I call to thee in the streets.
I call to thee in the fields.
Arise, my love, my fair one,
and come, come away,
come, come away!
Spices blow in the wind
down to our gardens below
until the day breaks and shadows fall away.
Come, come, come, come, come away!
And the voice of love is heard in the land:
Come, come, come,
come, come away!
