ARISE, AND COME AWAY.

Cant. ii. 10-12.
He speaketh from the throne:
“Behold, I come!”
He speaketh to His own,
Long sleeping in the tomb:
“Arise, my love, my fair one;
Arise, and come away.”
The winter now is past;
The spring is come;
The turtle's tender voice
Is now no longer dumb:
“Arise, my love, my fair one;
Arise, and come away.”
