¹¹ I went down to the grove of nut trees
    to look at the new growth in the valley,
to see if the vines had budded
    or the pomegranates were in bloom.^(A)

¹² Let us go early to the vineyards^(A)
    to see if the vines have budded,^(B)
if their blossoms^(C) have opened,
    and if the pomegranates^(D) are in bloom^(E)—
    there I will give you my love.
