Song of Songs 2

¹ I am a rose of Sharon,

² As a lily among thorns,

³ As the apple tree among the trees of the wood,

⁴ He brought me to the banquet hall.

⁵ Strengthen me with raisins,

⁶ His left hand is under my head.

⁷ I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,

⁸ The voice of my beloved!

⁹ My beloved is like a roe or a young deer.

¹⁰ My beloved spoke, and said to me, “ Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.

¹¹ For behold, the winter is past.

¹² The flowers appear on the earth.

¹³ The fig tree ripens her green figs.

¹⁴ My dove in the clefts of the rock, let me see your face. Let me hear your voice;

¹⁵ Catch for us the foxes,

¹⁶ My beloved is mine, and I am his. He browses among the lilies.

¹⁷ Until the day is cool, and the shadows flee away,
