1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2 As a lily among brambles,so is my love among the young women.
3 As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,so is my beloved among the young men.With great delight I sat in his shadow,and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banqueting house,and his banner over me was love.
5 Sustain me with raisins;refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love.
6 His left hand is under my head,and his right hand embraces me!
7 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,by the gazelles or the does of the field,that you not stir up or awaken loveuntil it pleases.
