1I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.β2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.β3As 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.β4He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.β5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.β6His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.β7I 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.β8The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.β9My 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.β10My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.β11For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;β12The 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;β13The 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.β14O 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.β15Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.β16My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.β17Until 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.β
