chapter 2
1
I am
the flower of the field, 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 woods, so is
my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow, whom I desired: and his
fruit was sweet to my palate.
4 He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in
order charity in me.
5 Stay me up with flowers, compass me about with
apples: because I languish with love.
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand
shall embrace me.
7 I adjure you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the
roes, and the harts of the, fields, that you stir not up, nor make the beloved
to awake, till she please.
8 The voice of my beloved, behold he cometh leaping
upon the mountains, skipping over the hills.
9 My beloved is like a roe, or a young hart. Behold he
standeth behind our wall, looking through the windows, looking through the
lattices.
10 Behold my beloved speaketh to me: Arise, make haste,
my love, my dove, my beautiful one, and come.
11 For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of
pruning is come: the voice of the turtle is heard in our land:
13 The fig tree hath put forth her green figs: the
vines in flower yield their sweet smell. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and
come:
14 My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow
places of the wall, shew me thy face, let thy voice sound in my ears: for thy
voice is sweet, and thy face comely.
15 Catch us the little foxes that destroy the vines: for
our vineyard hath flourished.
16 My beloved to me, and I to him who feedeth among the
lilies,
17 Till the day break, and the shadows retire. Return:
be like, my beloved, to a roe, or to a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
