Latin.png Latin text

Dilectus meus descendit in hortum suum
ad areolam aromatum,
ut ibi pascatur in hortis
et lilia colligat.
Ego dilecto meo et dilectus meus mihi,
qui pascitur inter lilia.


English.png English translation

My beloved is gone down into his garden,
to the bed of aromatical spices,
to feed in the gardens,
and to gather lilies.
I am my beloved's, and he is mine,
who feedeth among the lilies.
