Song of Songs 2:1-7

1I am a meadow flower from Sharon, a lily from the valleys.

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

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

4He brought me into the banquet hall, and he looked at me lovingly.

5Sustain me with raisin cakes, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. The Double Refrain: Embracing and Adjuration

6His left hand caresses my head, and his right hand stimulates me.

7I adjure you, O maidens of Jerusalem, by the gazelles and by the young does of the open fields: Do not awaken or arouse love until it pleases!
