== Shir Hashirim (Book of Song of songs), Chapter 2 ==

<named id="1"/>1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.

<named id="2"/>2 As a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

<named id="3"/>3 As an apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. Under its shadow I delighted to sit, and its fruit was sweet to my taste.

<named id="4"/>4 He hath brought me to the banqueting-house, and his banner over me is love.

<named id="5"/>5 'Stay ye me with dainties, refresh me with apples; for I am love-sick.'

<named id="6"/>6 Let his left hand be under my head, and his right hand embrace me.

<named id="7"/>7 'I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, that ye awaken not, nor stir up love, until it please.'

<named id="8"/>8 Hark! my beloved! behold, he cometh, leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

<named id="9"/>9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young hart; behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh in through the windows, he peereth through the lattice.

<named id="10"/>10 My beloved spoke, and said unto me: 'Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

<named id="11"/>11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

<named id="12"/>12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

<named id="13"/>13 The fig-tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines in blossom give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

<named id="14"/>14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the covert of the cliff, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.'

<named id="15"/>15 'Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vineyards; for our vineyards are in blossom.'

<named id="16"/>16 My beloved is mine, and I am his, that feedeth among the lilies.

<named id="17"/>17 Until the day breathe, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a gazelle or a young hart upon the mountains of spices.
