Song of Solomon 2:1-11
-
1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
-
2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
-
3 As 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.
-
4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
-
5 Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
-
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
-
7 I 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.
-
8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
-
9 My 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.
-
10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
-
11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
