3 As the apple tree8598 among the trees6086 of the wood,3293 so3651 is my beloved1730 among996 the sons.1121 I sat down3427 under his shadow6738 with great delight,2530 and his fruit6529 was sweet4966 to my taste.2441

Song of Solomon

Chapter 2

1 I AM like the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley.

2 Like the lilies among thorns, so is my beloved among the daughters.

3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

4 He brought me to the banqueting house, and assigned as my portion love.

5 Sustain me with delicacies, surround me with apples; for I am sick for love.

6 His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.

7 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, or by young roes of the field, that you stir not up, nor awake my love until it please.

8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he comes leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young roe; behold, he stands behind our wall, he looks through the windows, bending himself over the lattice.

10 My beloved spoke and said to me, Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.

11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of pruning has come, and the voice of the turtle dove is heard in our land;

13 The fig tree puts forth its green figs, and the vines with tender shoots give fragrance. Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one, and come away.

14 O my dove, who nests in the clefts of the rock and in the secret places of the hedge, let me see your countenance, let me hear your voice; for sweet is your voice, and your countenance is comely.

15 Let us catch the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards, for our vines have tender shoots.

16 My beloved is mine, and I am his; he feeds among the lilies.

17 Until the day cools and the shadows flee away, turn my beloved and be like a gazelle or a young hart upon the fragrant mountains.
