| 2:1 |
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
|
| 2:2 |
As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens.
|
| 2:3 |
As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
|

|
| 2:6 |
O that his left hand were under my head, and that his right hand embraced me!

|
| 2:8 |
The voice of my beloved! Look, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills.
|
| 2:9 |
My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look, there he stands behind our wall, gazing in at the windows, looking through the lattice.

|
| 2:11 |

|
| 2:14 |
O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
|
| 2:15 |
Catch us the foxes, the little foxes, that ruin the vineyards-- for our vineyards are in blossom."
|
| 2:16 |
My beloved is mine and I am his; he pastures his flock among the lilies.
|
| 2:17 |
Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle or a young stag on the cleft mountains.
