Song of Songs 2:1-8

¹I am a rose of Sharon,

a lily of the valley.

²Like a lily among the thorns

is my darling among the maidens.

³Like an apricot 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.

⁴He has brought me to the house of wine,

and his banner over me is love.

⁵Sustain me with raisins;

refresh me with apples,

for I am faint with love.

⁶His left hand is under my head,

and his right arm embraces me.

⁷O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you

by the gazelles and does of the field:

Do not arouse or awaken love

until the time is right.

⁸Listen! My beloved approaches.

Look! Here he comes,

leaping across the mountains,

bounding over the hills.
