SOS-2:1  I [am] the rose of Sharon, [and] the lily of the

valleys.

SOS-2:2  As the lily among thorns, so [is] my love among the

daughters.

SOS-2:3  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.

SOS-2:4  He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner

over me [was]

love.

SOS-2:5  Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I

[am] sick of

love.

SOS-2:6  His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand

doth embrace me.

SOS-2:7  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.

SOS-2:8  The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon

the

mountains, skipping upon the hills.

SOS-2:9  My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he

standeth behind

our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, showing himself

through the

lattice.

SOS-2:10  My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love,

my fair one,

and come away.

SOS-2:11  For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over [and]

gone;

SOS-2:12  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;

SOS-2:13  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.

SOS-2:14  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.

SOS-2:15  Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the

vines: for our

vines [have] tender grapes.

SOS-2:16  My beloved [is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth among

the lilies.

SOS-2:17  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.
