I am a rose of Sharon,

As a lily among brambles,

so is my beloved among the young men.
With great delight I sat in his shadow,
and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

Sustain me with raisins;
refresh me with apples,
for I am sick with love.

the lily of the valley.
Like a lily among thistles
is my darling among young women.
Like the finest apple tree in the orchard

refresh me with apples,
for I am weak with love.

I am the rose of Sharon,
And the lily of the valleys.
As the lily among thorns,
So is my love among the daughters.
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood,
So is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down under his shadow with great delight,
And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banqueting house,
And his banner over me was love.
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples:
For I am sick of love.
