1 I am a rose of Sharon,
2 As a lily among thorns,
3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood,
4 He brought me to the banqueting-house,
5 Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples;
6 His left hand
7 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh,
9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart:
10 My beloved spake, and said unto me,
11 For, lo, the winter is past;
12 The flowers appear on the earth;
13 The fig-tree ripeneth her green figs,
14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock,
15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes,
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his:
17 Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away,
