1. I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. | |
2. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. | |
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. | |
4. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. | |
5. Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. | |
6. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. | |
7. I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. | |
8. The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. | |
9. My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. | |
10. My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. | |
11. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; | |
12. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; | |
13. The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. | |
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. | |
15. Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. | |
16. My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. | |
17. Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether. |
