2:1
I am only a wild flower in Sharon, a lily in a mountain valley.
2:2
Like a lily among thorns is my darling among women.
2:3
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my dearest compared to
other men. I love to sit in its shadow, and its fruit is sweet to my taste.
2:4
He brought me to his banquet hall and raised the banner of love over me.
2:5
Restore my strength with raisins and refresh me with apples! I am weak from
passion.
2:6
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand caresses me.
2:7
Promise me, women of Jerusalem; swear by the swift deer and the gazelles that
you will not interrupt our love.
2:8
I hear my lover's voice. He comes running over the mountains, racing across the
hills to me.
2:9
My lover is like a gazelle, like a young stag. There he stands beside the wall.
He looks in through the window and glances through the lattice.
2:10
My lover speaks to me. Come then, my love; my darling, come
with me.
2:11
The winter is over; the rains have stopped;
2:12
in the countryside the flowers are in bloom. This is the time for singing; the
song of doves is heard in the fields.
2:13
Figs are beginning to ripen; the air is fragrant with blossoming vines. Come then, my love; my darling, come with me.
2:14
You are like a dove that hides in the crevice of a rock. Let me see your lovely
face and hear your enchanting voice.
2:15
Catch the foxes, the little foxes, before they ruin our vineyard in bloom.
2:16
My lover is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies
2:17
until the morning breezes blow and the darkness disappears. Return, my darling,
like a gazelle, like a stag on the mountains of Bether.
