I am a rose of Sharon, a flower of the valleys.
2 Like a lily between the thorns [is] so friend my between the daughters.
As the lily-flower among the thorns of the waste, so is my love among the daughters.

As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, so is my loved one among the sons. I took my rest under his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He has brought me into [the] house of wine and standard his over me [is] love.
He took me to the house of wine, and his flag over me was love.
5 Sustain me with raisin-cakes refresh me with apples for [am] weak of love I.
Make me strong with wine-cakes, let me be comforted with apples; I am overcome with love.
6 Left [hand] his [is] under head my and right [hand] his it embraces me.
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand is round about me.
7 I adjure you O daughters of Jerusalem by gazelles or by [the] does of the field if you will awaken - and if you will arouse love until that it will please.
I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes of the field, do not let love be moved till it is ready.
8 [the] sound of Lover my there! this [is] coming [is] leaping over the mountains [is] bounding over the hills.
The voice of my loved one! See, he comes dancing on the mountains, stepping quickly on the hills.
9 [is] like Lover my a gazelle or [the] fawn of the deer there! this [is] standing behind wall our [is] gazing from the windows [is] peering from the lattices.
My loved one is like a roe; see, he is on the other side of our wall, he is looking in at the windows, letting himself be seen through the spaces.
10 He answered lover my and he said to me arise yourself O friend my beautiful [one] my and come yourself.
My loved one said to me, Get up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 For there! (the winter *Q(K)*) it has passed the rain it has passed away it has gone itself.
For, see, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
12 The blossoms they have appeared in the land [the] time of pruning it has arrived and [the] sound of the turtle-dove it has been heard in land our.
The flowers are come on the earth; the time of cutting the vines is come, and the voice of the dove is sounding in our land;
13 The fig tree it has ripened early figs its and the vines - blossom they have given forth odor arise (yourself *Q(K)*) O friend my beautiful [one] my and come yourself.
The fig-tree puts out her green fruit and the vines with their young fruit give a good smell. Get up from your bed, my beautiful one, and come away.
14 O dove my in [the] clefts of the rock in [the] hiding place of the steep place let see me form your cause to hear me voice your for voice your [is] sweet and form your [is] lovely.
O my dove, you are in the holes of the mountain sides, in the cracks of the high hills; let me see your face, let your voice come to my ears; for sweet is your voice, and your face is fair.
15 Seize for us foxes foxes small [which] ruin vineyards and vineyards our [are] blossom.
Take for us the foxes, the little foxes, which do damage to the vines; our vines have young grapes.
16 Lover my [belongs] to me and I [belong] to him who [is] grazing among the lilies.
My loved one is mine, and I am his: he takes his food among the flowers.
17 Until that will breathe the day and they will flee the shadows turn be like yourself O lover my a gazelle or [the] fawn of the deer on [the] mountains of ravine[s].
Till the evening comes, and the sky slowly becomes dark, come, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of Bether.
