Song of Songs 2:1-7

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

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

3Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my lover among the sons. In his shadow I delighted to sit, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4He has brought me to the banquet house and his banner over me is love.

5Sustain me with raisin cakes, refresh me with apples— for I am weak with love.

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

7Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you, by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it delights.
