**1 **I *am* the rose of Sharon, *and* the lily of the valleys.

**2 **As the lily among thorns, so *is* my love among the daughters.

**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.

**4 **He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me *was* love.

**5 **Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I *am* sick of love.

**6 **His left hand *is* under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

**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.

**8 **The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

**9 **My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.

**10 **My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

**11 **For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over *and* gone;

**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;

**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.

**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.

**15 **Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines *have* tender grapes.

**16 **My beloved *is* mine, and I *am* his: he feedeth among the lilies.

**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.
