1. I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2. Like a lily among thorns, so is my darling among the daughters.
3. Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my lover among the sons. In his shadow I delighted to sit, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4. He has brought me to the banquet house and his banner over me is love.
5. Sustain me with raisin cakes, refresh me with apples— for I am weak with love.
6. His left hand is under my head and his right hand embraces me.
7. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you, by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it delights.
