Lyrics: Song of Solomon 2: 13,14

Surge, amica mea, speciosa mea, et veni:
columba mea, in foraminibus petræ,
in caverna maceriæ, ostende mihi faciem tuam,
sonet vox tua in auribus meis:
vox enim tua dulcis, et facies tua decora.

Arise my love, my fair one, and come away.
My dove, that art in the holes of the rock,
in the secret places of the stairs, show me thy sight,
let me hear thy voice:
for thy voice is sweet, and thy sight comely.
