I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.
As a lily among brambles,
so is my love among maidens.
As an apple tree among the
trees of the wood,
so is my beloved among 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 intention toward me was love.
Sustain me with raisins,
refresh me with apples ;
for I am faint with love.
O that his left hand were under my head.
and that his right hand
embraced me!
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem.
by the gazelles or the wild does;
do not stir up or awaken love until it is ready!
