Chapter 2

1


 

  I am a narcissus of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.  

 

 

-

2


 

  As the lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.  

 

 

-

3


 

  As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons: In his shadow have I rapture and sit down; And his fruit is sweet to my taste.  

 

 

-

4


 

  He hath brought me to the house of wine, And his banner over me is love.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Sustain ye me with raisin-cakes, Refresh me with apples; For I am sick of love.  

 

 

-

6


 

  His left hand is under my head, And his right hand doth embrace me.  

 

 

-

7


 

  I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles, or by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake [my] love, till he please.  

 

 

-

8


 

  The voice of my beloved! Behold, he cometh Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.  

 

 

-

9


 

  My beloved is like a gazelle or a young hart. Behold, he standeth behind our wall, He looketh in through the windows, Glancing through the lattice.  

 

 

-

10


 

  My beloved spake and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.  

 

 

-

11


 

  For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over, it is gone:  

 

 

-

12


 

  The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing is come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;  

 

 

-

13


 

  The fig-tree melloweth her winter figs, And the vines in bloom give forth [their] fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away!  

 

 

-

14


 

  My dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the covert of the precipice, Let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Take us the foxes, The little foxes, that spoil the vineyards; For our vineyards are in bloom.  

 

 

-

16


 

  My beloved is mine, and I am his; He feedeth [his flock] among the lilies,  

 

 

-

17


 

  Until the day dawn, and the shadows flee away. Turn, my beloved: be thou like a gazelle or a young hart, Upon the mountains of Bether.
