King James Version
As
a
lily
among
the thorns
,
I
am
the rose
of
Sharon
, and
the
lily
of
the
valleys.
So `
is '
my friend
among the daughters !
As
the
lily
among
thorns,
so is my love
among the daughters .
As a
citron
among trees of the forest
, So `
is '
my beloved among the sons ,
In
his
shade
I delighted,
and
sat down, And his fruit `is'
sweet to my palate
.
As the
apple
tree
among the
trees of the wood
, so is my beloved among the sons .

.
He hath
brought me in
unto
a
house of
wine
, And his banner over me `is'
love ,
He brought me to
the
banqueting
house, and his banner over me was
love .
Sustain
me with grape-cakes
, Support
me with citrons,
for I `
am '
sick with
love.
Stay
me with flagons
, comfort
me with apples:
for I am sick of
love.
His left hand `
is '
under my head, And his right doth embrace me.

My dove, in clefts of the rock, In a
secret place
of the ascent
, Cause
me to
see thine
appearance
, Cause
me to
hear thy voice ,
For thy voice `is'
sweet
, and thy appearance
comely.
O
my dove, that
art
in the
clefts of the rock, in the
secret places
of the stairs
, let
me see thy
countenance
, let
me hear thy voice ;
for sweet
is
thy voice, and thy countenance
is
comely.
Seize
ye
for
us foxes, Little foxes --
destroyers
of
vineyards
, Even
our sweet-smelling
vineyards
.
Take
us the
foxes, the
little foxes, that
spoil

vines:

My beloved `
is '
mine, and I `
am '
his ,
Who
is
delighting
among the lilies ,
My beloved is mine, and I am his :
he
feedeth
among the lilies .
Till
the day doth
break forth
, And the shadows have
fled
away, Turn, be
like,
my beloved, To
a roe ,
or to
a young one
of
the
harts,
On
the mountains of separation!
Until
the day break, and the shadows flee
away, turn, my beloved, and
be
thou
like
a roe or a young hart
upon
the mountains of Bether.
