002:001
I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

002:002
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

002:003
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.

002:004
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

002:005
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

002:006
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

002:007
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.

002:008
The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

002:009
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.

002:010
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

002:011
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

002:012
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;

002:013
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.

002:014
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.

002:015
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

002:016
My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

002:017
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.
