Song of Solomon 2

¹I am a rose of Sharon,

²As a lily among thorns,

³As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood,

⁴He brought me to the banqueting-house,

⁵Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples;

⁶His left hand is under my head,

⁷I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,

⁸The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh,

⁹My beloved is like a roe or a young hart:

¹⁰My beloved spake, and said unto me,

¹¹For, lo, the winter is past;

¹²The flowers appear on the earth;

¹³The fig-tree ripeneth her green figs,

¹⁴O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock,

¹⁵Take us the foxes, the little foxes,

¹⁶My beloved is mine, and I am his:

¹⁷Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away,
