The owers appear on the earth. The time for singing has come, my Love, And the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land. Consider the lilies, how they grow: They neither toil nor spin; Yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his Glory Was not clothed like one of these. The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad, The dessert shall rejoice and blossom; Like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly , And rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, The majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, The majesty of our God.
