Song of Solomon 2
2
1I am a rose of Sharon,
A lily of the valleys.
2As a lily among thorns,
So is my love among the daughters.
3As 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.
4He brought me to the banqueting-house,
And his banner over me was love.
5Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples;
For I am sick from love.
6His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand doth embrace me.
7I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the roes, or by the hinds of the field,
That ye stir not up, nor awake my love,
Until he please.
8The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh,
Leaping upon the mountains,
Skipping upon the hills.
9My beloved is like a roe or a young hart:
Behold, he standeth behind our wall;
He looketh in at the windows;
He glanceth through the lattice.
10My beloved spake, and said unto me,
Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11For, lo, the winter is past;
The rain is over and gone;
12The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of the singing of birds is come,
And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;
13The fig-tree ripeneth her green figs,
And the vines are in blossom;
They give forth their fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
14O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock,
In the covert of the steep place,
Let me see thy countenance,
Let me hear thy voice;
For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
15Take us the foxes, the little foxes,
That spoil the vineyards;
For our vineyards are in blossom.
16My beloved is mine, and I am his:
He feedeth his flock among the lilies.
17Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart
Upon the mountains of Bether.

Song of Solomon 2
2
1I am the rose of Sharon,
And the lily of the valleys.
The Beloved
2Like a lily among thorns,
So is my love among the daughters.
The Shulamite
3Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods,
So is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down in his shade with great delight,
And #Song 4:16; Rev. 22:1, 2his fruit was sweet to my taste.
The Shulamite to the Daughters of Jerusalem
4He brought me to the banqueting house,
And his banner over me was love.
5Sustain me with cakes of raisins,
Refresh me with apples,
For I am lovesick.
6#Song 8:3His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.
7#Song 3:5; 8:4I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
The Beloved’s Request
The Shulamite
8The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes
Leaping upon the mountains,
Skipping upon the hills.
9#Prov. 6:5; Song 2:17My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Behold, he stands behind our wall;
He is looking through the windows,
Gazing through the lattice.
10My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.
11For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
12The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
13The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!
14“O my #Song 5:2dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret places of the cliff,
Let me see your face,
#Song 8:13Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your face is lovely.”
Her Brothers
15Catch us #Ps. 80:13; Ezek. 13:4; Luke 13:32the foxes,
The little foxes that spoil the vines,
For our vines have tender grapes.
The Shulamite
16#Song 6:3My beloved is mine, and I am his.
He feeds his flock among the lilies.
(To Her Beloved)
17#Song 4:6Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved,
And be #Song 8:14like a gazelle
Or a young stag
Upon the mountains of Bether.
