Song of Songs 2:1-7

Song of Songs 2:1-7
I am a flower of Sharon
a lily of the valley.
As a lily among thorns,
so is my beloved among women.

As an apple tree among the trees of the
woods,
so is my lover among men.
I delight to rest in his shadow,
and his fruit is sweet to my mouth.
He brings me into the banquet hall
and his emblem over me is love.
Strengthen me with raison cakes,
refresh me with apples,
for I am faint with love.
His left hand is under my head
and his right arm embraces me.
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles and hides of the
field.
Do not arouse, do not stir up love
before its own time.
