… I was reminded of these few verses which were very dear to me some time back:

"See! The winter is past, the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth, the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit, the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me…"

Song of Songs 2:11-13 (New International Version)
