Song of Solomon 2 — KJV

2 Verse 1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. ^{Verse 2} As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. ^{Verse 3} As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. ^{Verse 4} He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. ^{Verse 5} Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. ^{Verse 6} His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me. ^{Verse 7} I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please. ^{Verse 8} The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. ^{Verse 9} My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice. ^{Verse 10} My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. ^{Verse 11} For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; ^{Verse 12} The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; ^{Verse 13} The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. ^{Verse 14} 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. ^{Verse 15} Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. ^{Verse 16} My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies. ^{Verse 17} 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.
