Song of Solomon 2

  1. 1<pb/><t><f>[4]</f> I am a rose<f>[5]</f> of Sharon,</t> <t>a lily of the valleys.</t>
  2. 2<t>Like a lily among thorns</t> <t>is my darling among the young women.</t>
  3. 3<t>Like an apple<f>[6]</f> tree among the trees of the forest</t> <t>is my beloved among the young men.</t> <t>I delight to sit in his shade,</t> <t>and his fruit is sweet to my taste.</t>
  4. 4<t>Let him lead me to the banquet hall,</t> <t>and let his banner over me be love.</t>
  5. 5<t>Strengthen me with raisins,</t> <t>refresh me with apples,</t> <t>for I am faint with love.</t>
  6. 6<t>His left arm is under my head,</t> <t>and his right arm embraces me.</t>
  7. 7<t>Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you</t> <t>by the gazelles and by the does of the field:</t> <t>Do not arouse or awaken love</t> <t>until it so desires. <pb/></t>
  8. 8<t>Listen! My beloved!</t> <t>Look! Here he comes,</t> <t>leaping across the mountains,</t> <t>bounding over the hills.</t>
  9. 9<t>My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.</t> <t>Look! There he stands behind our wall,</t> <t>gazing through the windows,</t> <t>peering through the lattice.</t>
  10. 10<t>My beloved spoke and said to me,</t> <t>“Arise, my darling,</t> <t>my beautiful one, come with me.</t>
  11. 11<t>See! The winter is past;</t> <t>the rains are over and gone.</t>
  12. 12<t>Flowers appear on the earth;</t> <t>the season of singing has come,</t> <t>the cooing of doves</t> <t>is heard in our land.</t>
  13. 13<t>The fig tree forms its early fruit;</t> <t>the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.</t> <t>Arise, come, my darling;</t> <t>my beautiful one, come with me.”</t>
  14. 14<t>My dove in the clefts of the rock,</t> <t>in the hiding places on the mountainside,</t> <t>show me your face,</t> <t>let me hear your voice;</t> <t>for your voice is sweet,</t> <t>and your face is lovely.</t>
  15. 15<t>Catch for us the foxes,</t> <t>the little foxes</t> <t>that ruin the vineyards,</t> <t>our vineyards that are in bloom.</t>
  16. 16<t>My beloved is mine and I am his;</t> <t>he browses among the lilies.</t>
  17. 17<t>Until the day breaks</t> <t>and the shadows flee,</t> <t>turn, my beloved,</t> <t>and be like a gazelle</t> <t>or like a young stag</t> <t>on the rugged hills.<f>[7]</f></t>
