Shir haShirim (Song of Songs) 2
2
1I am the rose of Sharon, The lily of the valleys.
2Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
3Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons. I delighted in his shade and sat down, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4He brought me to the house of wine, And his banner over me was love.
5“Strengthen me with raisin cakes, Refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.”
6His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.
7I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases.
8The voice of my beloved! See, he is coming, Leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
9My beloved is like a gazelle or like a young stag. See, he is standing behind our wall, Looking through the windows, Peering through the lattice.
10My beloved responded and said to me, “Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.
11“For look, the winter is past, the rain is over, gone.
12“The flowers have appeared in the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
13“The fig tree has ripened her figs, And the vines with the tender grapes have given a good fragrance. Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away!
14“O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the covering of the cliff, Let me see your appearance, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your appearance is lovely.”
15Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that spoil the vines, And our vines are all blossom.
16My beloved is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies.
17Until the day breaks and the shadows have fled, Turn, my beloved, And be like a gazelle or a young stag On the mountains of Bether.

Song of Solomon 2
2
1I am the rose of Sharon,
And the lily of the valleys.
2As the 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 me with flagons,
Comfort me with apples:
For I am sick of love.
6His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand doth embrace me.
7I 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.
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 forth at the windows,
Shewing himself 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
Is heard in our land;
13The 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.
14O 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.
15Take us the foxes,
The little foxes,
That spoil the vines:
For our vines have tender grapes.
16My beloved is mine, and I am his:
He feedeth among the lilies.
17Until 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.
