SS 2:1I am a rose of Sharon, / A lily of the valleys.
SS 2:2As a lily among thorns, / So is my love among the daughters.
SS 2:3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, / So is my beloved among the sons: In his shade I delighted and sat down, / And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
SS 2:4He brought me into the banqueting house, / And his banner over me was love.
SS 2:5Sustain me with raisin cakes, / Refresh me with apples, / For I am sick with love.
SS 2:6His left hand is under my head, / And his right hand embraces me.
SS 2:7I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, / By the gazelles or by the hinds of the fields, / Not to rouse up or awaken my love / Until she pleases.
SS 2:8The voice of my beloved! Now he comes, / Leaping upon the mountains, / Skipping upon the hills.
SS 2:9My beloved is like a gazelle or a young hart. / Now he stands behind our wall; / He is looking through the windows, / He is glancing through the lattice.
SS 2:10My beloved responds and says to me, / Rise up, my love, / My beauty, and come away;
SS 2:11For now the winter is past; / The rain is over and gone.
SS 2:12Flowers appear on the earth; / The time of singing has come, / And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
SS 2:13The fig tree has ripened its figs, / And the vines are in blossom — they give forth their fragrance. / Rise up, my love, / My beauty, and come away.
SS 2:14My dove, in the clefts of the rock, / In the covert of the precipice, / Let me see your countenance, / Let me hear your voice; / For your voice is sweet, / And your countenance is lovely.
SS 2:15Catch the foxes for us, / The little foxes, / That ruin the vineyards / While our vineyards are in blossom.
SS 2:16My beloved is mine, and I am his; / He pastures his flock among the lilies.
SS 2:17Until the day dawns and the shadows flee away, / Turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young hart / On the mountains of Bether.
