I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.[^1] [^1]: The Hebrew flower names are uncertain; the first may be a crocus or meadow flower, the second a lotus or lily.
Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women.
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love.
Sustain me with raisin cakes, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.
I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles and the does of the field: do not stir up or awaken love until it pleases.
The voice of my beloved! Look, here he comes, leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills.
My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look, there he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice.
My beloved spoke and said to me: Rise up, my darling, my beautiful one, and come away.
For see, the winter is past; the rains are over and gone.
The blossoms appear in the land, the season of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.[^1] [^1]: The Hebrew word may mean either "singing" or "pruning".
The fig tree ripens its early fruit, and the blossoming vines give off their fragrance. Rise up, my darling, my beautiful one, and come away.
My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom.
My beloved is mine and I am his; he grazes among the lilies.
Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the cleft mountains.
