So is dmy love among the daughters.
3As the eapple tree among the trees of the wood,
So is my beloved among the sons.
†I sat down funder his shadow with great delight,
And ghis fruit was sweet to my †taste.
4hHe brought me to the †banqueting house,
And his banner over me was love.
5iStay me with jflagons, †comfort me with eapples:
For lI am sick of love.
6mHis left hand is under my head,
mAnd his right hand doth embrace me.
7†nI charge you, oO ye daughters of Jerusalem,
By the pqroes, and by the prhinds of the field,
That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.
As a lily among brambles,
so is my love among the young women.
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.
He brought me to the banqueting house,
and his banner over me was love.
Sustain me with raisins;
refresh me with apples,
for I am sick with love.
His left hand is under my head,
and his right hand embraces me!
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles or the does of the field,
that you not stir up or awaken love
until it pleases.

I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.
Like a lily among thorns
is my darling among the young women.
Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest
is my beloved among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
Let him lead me to the banquet hall,
and let his banner over me be love.
Strengthen me with raisins,
refresh me with apples,
for I am faint with love.
His left arm is under my head,
and his right arm embraces me.
Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you
by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.

I am the spring crocus blooming on the Sharon Plain,
the lily of the valley.
Like a lily among thistles
is my darling among young women.
Like the finest apple tree in the orchard
is my lover among other young men.
I sit in his delightful shade
and taste his delicious fruit.
He escorts me to the banquet hall;
it’s obvious how much he loves me.
Strengthen me with raisin cakes,
refresh me with apples,
for I am weak with love.
His left arm is under my head,
and his right arm embraces me.
Promise me, O women of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles and wild deer,
not to awaken love until the time is right.

Like a lily among the thorns,
so is my love among the maidens.
As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,
