Chapter 2
1
– I am the rose of Sharon, the lily of the valleys.
2
– As a lily among the thistles, so is my love among the maidens.
3
– As an apple tree among the trees of the orchard, so is my Beloved among the young men. In his longed-for shade I am seated and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
4
He has taken me to his banquet hall, and the banner he raises over me is love.
5
Feed me with raisin cakes, restore me with apples, for I am sick with love.
6
His left arm is under my head, his right embraces me.
7
– I charge you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, by the hinds of the field, not to stir my love, nor rouse it, until it please to awake.
THE BRIDE
8
I hear my Beloved. See how he comes leaping on the mountains, bounding over the hills.
9
My Beloved is like a gazelle, like a young stag. See where he stands behind our wall. He looks in at the window, he peers through the lattice.
10
My Beloved lifts up his voice, he says to me, ‘Come then, my love, my lovely one, come.
11
For see, winter is past, the rains are over and gone.
12
The flowers appear on the earth. The season of glad songs has come, the cooing of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13
The fig tree is forming its first figs and the blossoming vines give out their fragrance. Come then, my love, my lovely one, come.
14
My dove, hiding in the clefts of the rock, in the coverts of the cliff, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your face is beautiful.’
15
Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that make havoc of the vineyards, for our vineyards are in flower.
16
My Beloved is mine and I am his. He pastures his flock among the lilies.
17
Before the dawn-wind rises, before the shadows flee, return! Be, my Beloved, like a gazelle, a young stag, on the mountains of the covenant.
