*Translation from The Song of Songs:

“I am black, but comely, daughters of Jerusalem;  the King hath rejoiced in me, the King hath brought me  into His very own chambers. He spake unto me; rise up, my fair one, and come away, my love. Lo, for the winter is past and gone, and the rain is over and gone, flow’rs  appear on the earth, and the time of renewal is come.  Alleluia.”
