Arise, My Love
[Verse 1]
Arise, my love, my lovely one, come
The winter is past, and the rains are gone
The flowers appear, it's the season of song
My beautiful one, arise and come with me
Who is it that appears like the dawn?
As fair as the moon, as bright as the sun?
Show me your face, let me hear your voice
My beautiful one, arise and come with me

[Refrain]
Set me like a seal on your heart
For love is unyielding as the grave
The flash of it is a jealous fire
No flood can quench
For love is as strong as death

[Verse 2]
Arise, my love, and come with me
Before the dawn breaks and the shadows flee
You ravished my heart with just one glance
My beautiful one, arise and come with me

[Refrain]
Set me like a seal on your heart
For love is unyielding as the grave
The flash of it is a jealous fire
No flood can quench
For love is as strong as death
[Bridge]
Do not arouse or awaken love
Until it so desires

[Outro]
Arise, my love, my lovely one, come
The winter is past and the rains are gone
The flowers appear, it's the season of song
My beautiful one, arise and come with me
I am my love's, my beloved is mine
Arise and come with me
