S.S.|2:1|-|I am a |1|rose of |2a|Sharon,A |b|lily of the valleys.
S.S.|2:2|-|As a |1|lily among |a|thorns,So is my love among the daughters.
S.S.|2:3a|-|As the |1|apple tree among the trees of the wood,So is my beloved among the sons:
S.S.|2:3b|-|In his shade I delighted and sat down,And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
S.S.|2:4|-|He brought me into the |1|banqueting house,And his banner over me was love.
S.S.|2:5|-|Sustain me with raisin cakes,Refresh me with apples,
For I am |a|sick with love.
S.S.|2:6|-||a|His left hand is under my head,And his right hand embraces me.
S.S.|2:7|-||a|I |1|adjure you, O |b|daughters of Jerusalem,By the gazelles or by the hinds of the fields,
Not to rouse up or awaken my loveUntil she pleases.
S.S.|2:8|-|The voice of my beloved! Now he comes,|1|Leaping upon the mountains,
Skipping upon the hills.
S.S.|2:9|-|My beloved is like a gazelle or a young |a|hart.Now he stands behind our |1|wall;
He is looking through the |2|windows,He is glancing through the |2|lattice.
S.S.|2:10|-|My beloved |1|responds and says to me,|2a|Rise up, my love,
My beauty, and |2|come away;
S.S.|2:11|-|For now the |1|winter is past;The rain is over and gone.
S.S.|2:12|-||1|Flowers appear on the earth;The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
S.S.|2:13|-|The fig tree has ripened its figs,And the |a|vines are in blossom—they give forth their fragrance.
|1b|Rise up, my love,My beauty, and come away.
S.S.|2:14|-||1|My |a|dove, in the clefts of the rock,In the covert of the precipice,
Let me see your countenance,Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,And your countenance is lovely.
S.S.|2:15|-|Catch the |1a|foxes for us,The little foxes,
That ruin the vineyardsWhile our vineyards are in blossom.
S.S.|2:16|-||a|My beloved is |1|mine, and I am his;He pastures his flock among the lilies.
S.S.|2:17|-||1a|Until the day dawns and the shadows flee away,Turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young |b|hart
On the mountains of |2|Bether.
