Spring Has Come
... The winter is past, the rain is over and gone... The flowers have appeared on the earth.
The time of pruning has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. The fig tree has put forth its green figs, and the vines in blossom give forth their fragrance... So arise, my beloved, and come away, my fair one...
"The Song of Songs"
