Hortus conclusus soror mea, sponsa mea, et fons signatus. Aperi mihi, O soror mea, amica mea, columba mea, immaculata mea. Surge propera amica mea et veni. Veni speciosa mea, ostende mihi, faciem tua. Favus distillans labia tus, mel et lac sub lingua tua. Veni, sponsa mea, veni coronaberis.

A garden enclosed is my sister, my bride, and a sealed fountain. Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled. Arise my love and come. Come my fair one, let me see your face. Your lips distil nectar, honey and milk are under your tongue. Come my bride, and you shall be crowned.
