“A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.”
“A locked up garden is my sister, my bride; a locked up spring, a sealed fountain.”
“The Wedding Night: The Delightful GardenThe Lover to His Beloved: You are a locked garden, my sister, my bride; you are an enclosed spring, a sealed-up fountain.”

“A garden walled-in is my sister, my bride; a garden shut up, a spring of water stopped.”
“A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.”
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, mybride; Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.
How fair is thy love, my sister, my bride! How much better is thy love than wine! And the fragrance of thine oils than all manner of spices!
Thy lips, O mybride, drop asthe honeycomb: Honey and milk are under thy tongue; And the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
A garden shut up is my sister, my bride; A spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
Thy shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits; Henna with spikenard plants,
Spikenard and saffron, Calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; Myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.
Thou arta fountain of gardens, A well of living waters, And flowing streams from Lebanon.
