SongofSolomon - Chapter 2 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. I {cf15I am} the rose of Sharon, {cf15I and} the lily of the valleys.
  • 2. As the lily among thorns, so {cf15I is} my love among the daughters.
  • 3. As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so {cf15I is} my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit {cf15I was} sweet to my taste.
  • 4. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me {cf15I was} love.
  • 5. Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I {cf15I am} sick of love.
  • 6. His left hand {cf15I is} under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
  • 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 {cf15I my} love, till he please.
  • 8. The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
  • 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.
  • 10. My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
  • 11. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over {cf15I and} gone;
  • 12. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing {cf15I of birds} is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
  • 13. The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines {cf15I with} the tender grape give a {cf15I good} smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
  • 14. O my dove, {cf15I that art} in the clefts of the rock, in the secret {cf15I places} of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet {cf15I is} thy voice, and thy countenance {cf15I is} comely.
  • 15. Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines {cf15I have} tender grapes.
  • 16. My beloved {cf15I is} mine, and I {cf15I am} his: he feedeth among the lilies.
  • 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.
