14 nard, saffron,[a] calamus,[b] and cinnamon.[c]

Your limbs are like a garden
    filled with trees of frankincense, myrrh, and aloe.
15 You are like a garden fountain—
    a well of fresh water—
    flowing down from the mountains of Lebanon.

She Speaks

16 Wake up, north wind.
    Come, south wind.
Blow on my garden.
    Spread its sweet smell.
Let my lover enter his garden
    and eat its pleasant fruit.
