Song of Solomon, Chapter 2
Chapter 2 of Song of Solomon
a lily of the valleys.
so is my love among maidens.
so is my beloved among young men.
With great delight I sat in his shadow,
and his fruit was sweet to my taste,
and his banner over me was love.
refresh me with apples;
for I am sick with love.
and that his right hand embraced me!
by the gazelles or the hinds of the field,
that you stir not up nor awaken love
until it please.
Behold, he comes,
leaping upon the mountains,
bounding over the hills.
or a young stag.
Behold, there he stands
behind our wall,
gazing in at the windows,
looking through the lattice.
“Arise, my love, my fair one,
and come away;
the rain is over and gone.
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.
and the vines are in blossom;
they give forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one,
and come away.
in the covert of the cliff,
let me see your face,
let me hear your voice,
for your voice is sweet,
and your face is comely.
the little foxes,
that spoil the vineyards,
for our vineyards are in blossom.”
he pastures his flock among the lilies.
and the shadows flee,
turn, my beloved, be like a gazelle,
or a young stag upon rugged[b] mountains.FOOTNOTES
