2Like lilies among thorns, so is my intimate woman among the daughters

3As apples in the trees of the forest, so is my love among the sons; for his shadow I lusted and I sat; his fruit is sweet to my palate

4He brought me to the house of wine; he appointed love for me

5Sustain me with delicacies, surround me with fruit, for I am love sick

6His left hand is under my head and his right will embrace me

7Swear, oh daughters of Jerusalem, by the deer or by the fawns of the field, you will not wake up and you will not wake up the beloved until she pleases

8The voice of my love: behold he comes skipping on the mountains, leaping on the hills

9My love is like a deer or to the fawn of a hart on the mountains of Bayth Eil, behold he is standing behind our wall; he watches from the windows; he stoops at the thresholds

10My beloved answered and he said to me: "arise, for you, my intimate one, you are beautiful, and go

11For , behold, the winter has passed and is gone!

12The blossoms have appeared in the earth. The time of pruning has arrived! The voice of turtle-doves is heard in our country

13The fig tree has given its figs and the vines and the vine buds give a fragrance. Arise! You are beautiful my intimate one and come!

14My dove in the clefts of the rock, in secret places of a hedge, show me your beauty, your appearance, and make me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet and your appearance is beautiful!

15Catch for us foxes, small foxes ruining the vineyards and our vines of vine buds

16My beloved is mine and I am his, who feeds among the lilies

17While the day will grow cold and the shadows shall lengthen, return, my love, be like a deer or to a fawn of a hart on the mountains of spices
