1. I am the lily of the field {Heb. Sharon} and the rose of the valleys.
2. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the virgins.
3. As the apple tree among the trees of the wild, so is my beloved among the sons. I desired to sit under his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4. He brought me to the wine chamber and placed his banner of love over me.
5. Sustain me with flagons of wine, strengthen me with apples; for I am sick with love.
6. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.
