Song of Songs 2:1-7

1I am a wildflower of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.

2Like a lily among thorns, so is my darling among the young women.

3Like an apricot tree among the trees of the forest, so is my love among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

4He brought me to the banquet hall, and he looked on me with love.

5Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apricots, for I am lovesick.

6May his left hand be under my head, and his right arm embrace me.

7Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and the wild does of the field, do not stir up or awaken love until the appropriate time.
