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
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;
12
The
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;
13
The
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.
14
O
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.
15
Take
us
the
foxes,
the
little
foxes,
that
spoil
the
vines:
for
our
vines
[have]
tender
grapes.
16
My
beloved
[is]
mine,
and
I
[am]
his:
he
feedeth
among
the
lilies.
17
Until
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.
