The Bride’s Admiration

1IH589 am a roseH2261 of SharonH8289,1 a lilyH7799 of the valleyH6010.

2Like a lilyH7799 amongH996 the thornsH2336 is my darlingH7474 amongH996 the maidensH1323.

3Like an apple treeH8598 among the treesH6086 of the forestH3293 is my belovedH1730 amongH996 the young menH1121.I delightH2530 to sitH3427 in his shadeH6738,and his fruitH6529 is sweetH4966 to my tasteH2441.4He has brought meH935 toH413 the houseH1004 of wineH3196,2and his bannerH1714 over meH5921 is loveH160.

5Sustain meH5564 with raisinsH809;refresh meH7502 with applesH8598,forH3588 IH589 am faintH2470 with loveH160.

6His left handH8040 is underH8478 my headH7218,and his right armH3225 embraces meH2263.7O daughtersH1323 of JerusalemH3389, I adjureH7650 youH853by the gazellesH6643 andH176 doesH355 of the fieldH7704:Do notH518 arouseH5782 orH518 awakenH5782 loveH160untilH5704 the time is rightH2654.

HereH2088 he comesH935,leapingH1801 acrossH5921 the mountainsH2022,boundingH7092 overH5921 the hillsH1389.9My belovedH1730 is likeH1819 a gazelleH6643 orH176 a youngH6082 stagH354.LookH2009, heH2088 standsH5975 behindH310 our wallH3796,gazingH7688 throughH4480 the windowsH2474,peeringH6692 throughH4480 the latticeH2762.

10My belovedH1730 callsH6030 to me,“AriseH6965, my darlingH7474.Come awayH1980 with me, my beautiful oneH3303.11ForH3588 nowH2009 the winterH5638 is pastH5674;the rainH1653 is overH2498 and goneH1980.12The flowersH5339 have appearedH7200 in the countrysideH776;the seasonH6256 of singingH2159 3 has comeH5060,and the cooingH6963 of turtledovesH8449is heardH8085 in our landH776.

13The fig treeH8384 ripensH2590 its figsH6291; the blossomingH5563 vinesH1612 spreadH5414 their fragranceH7381. AriseH6965, come awayH1980, my darlingH7474; come awayH1980 with me, my beautiful oneH3303.”

14O my doveH3123 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, in the crevicesH5643 of the cliffH4095, let me seeH7200 your faceH4758, let me hearH8085 your voiceH6963; forH3588 your voiceH6963 is sweetH6156, and your countenanceH4758 is lovelyH5000.

15CatchH270 for us the foxesH7776— the littleH6996 foxesH7776 that ruinH2254 the vineyardsH3754— for our vineyardsH3754 are in bloomH5563.

16My belovedH1730 is mine and I amH589 his;he pasturesH7462 his flock among the liliesH7799.17BeforeH5704 the dayH3117 breaksH6315 and shadowsH6752 fleeH5127,turnH5437, my belovedH1730,and be likeH1819 a gazelleH6643orH176 a young stagH6082 H354 onH5921 the mountainsH2022 of BetherH1336.4
