| 2:1 | I [am] the rose of Sharon, [and] the lily of the valleys. | | 2:2 | As the lily among thorns, so [is] my love among the daughters. | | 2:3 | As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so [is] my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit [was] sweet to my taste. | | 2:4 | He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me [was] love. | | 2:5 | Sustain me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I [am] sick with love. | | 2:6 | His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. | | 2:7 | I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not, nor awake [my] love, till he please. | | 2:8 | The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. | | 2:9 | My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, gazing himself through the lattice. | | 2:10 | My beloved spoke, and said to me, Rise, my love, my fair one, and come away. | | 2:11 | For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over [and] gone; | | 2:12 | The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing [of birds] is come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land; | | 2:13 | The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines [with] the tender grape give [forth their] fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. | | 2:14 | O my dove, [that art] in the clefts of the rock, in the secret [places] of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet [is] thy voice, and thy countenance [is] comely. | | 2:15 | Take for us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines [have] tender grapes. | | 2:16 | My beloved [is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth among the lilies. | | 2:17 | Until the day shall break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether. |
