## Text

[1] I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valley. [2] Like a lily among the thorns
is my darling among the maidens. [3] Like 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. [4] He has brought me to the house of wine,
and his banner over me is love. [5] Sustain me with raisins;
refresh me with apples,
for I am faint with love. [6] His left hand is under my head,
and his right arm embraces me. [7] O 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. [8] Listen! My beloved approaches.
Look! Here he comes,
leaping across the mountains,
bounding over the hills. [9] My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Look, he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattice. [10] My beloved calls to me,
“Arise, my darling.
Come away with me, my beautiful one. [11] For now the winter is past;
the rain is over and gone. [12] The flowers have appeared in the countryside;
the season of singing has come,
and the cooing of turtledoves
is heard in our land. [13] The fig tree ripens its figs;
the blossoming vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come away, my darling;
come away with me, my beautiful one.” [14] O my dove in the clefts of the rock,
in the crevices of the cliff,
let me see your face,
let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet,
and your countenance is lovely. [15] Catch for us the foxes—
the little foxes that ruin the vineyards—
for our vineyards are in bloom. [16] My beloved is mine and I am his;
he pastures his flock among the lilies. [17] Before the day breaks and shadows flee,
turn, my beloved,
and be like a gazelle
or a young stag on the mountains of Bether.
