Song of Songs 2:1-7

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

2As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.

3As 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.

4He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

5Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love.

6His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me!

7I 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.
