I am the rose
of Sharon,
and the lily
of the valleys.
As the lily
among thorns,
so is my love
among the daughters.
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.

He brought
me to the banqueting
house,
and his banner
over me was love.
Stay
me with flagons,
comfort
me with apples:
for I am sick
of love.
His left hand
is under my head,
and his right hand
doth embrace
me.
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.
The voice
of my beloved!
behold, he cometh
leaping
upon the mountains,
skipping
upon the hills.
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.

My beloved
spake,
and said
unto me, Rise up,
my love,
my fair one,
and come away.
For, lo, the winter
is past,
the rain
is over
and gone;
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;
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.

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.

My beloved
is mine, and I am his: he feedeth
among the lilies.
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.
