In the rock’s covert show me your face
Arise and come, my near one, my fair one, my dove; in the covert of the rock beside the outer wall show me your face, and make your voice heard by me, for your voice is sweet and your face is fairThe Bridegroom shows a more secret place: the outer wall is a wall before the wall; there, the veil removed, are face and voice.
Latin
Surge et veni, proxima mea, speciosa mea, columba mea; in velamento petrae iuxta promurale ostende mihi faciem tuam, et auditam mihi fac vocem tuam, quoniam vox tua suavis et facies tua speciosa. Sponsus locum secretiorum ostendit: promurale murus ante murum; ibi velamine remoto facies et vox.
