Beloved:
BelI am a rose of Sharon,
BelBela lily of the valleys.

Lover:
BelLike a lily among thorns
BelBelis my darling among the maidens.

Beloved:
BelLike an apple tree among the trees of
BelBelBelthe forest
BelBelis my lover among the youg men.
BelI delight to sit in his shade,
BelBeland his fruit is sweet to my tast.
BelHe has taken me to the banquet hall,
BelBeland his banner over me is love.
BelStrengthen me with raisins,
BelBelrefresh me with apples,
BelBelfor I am faint with love.
BelHis left arm is under my head,
BelBeland his right arm embraces me.
BelDaughters of Jerusalem, I charge you
BelBelby the gazelles and by the does of the
BelBelBelfield:
BelDo not arouse or awaken love
BelBeluntil it so desires.

BelListen! My lover!
BelBelLook! Here he comes,
Belleaping across the mountains,
BelBelbounding over the hills.
BelMy lover is like a gazelle or a young
BelBelBelstag.
BelBelLook! There he stands behind our
BelBelBelwall,
Belgazing through the windows,
BelBelpeering through the lattice.
BelMy lover spoke and said to me,
BelBel"Arise, my darling,
BelBelmy beautiful one, and come with me.
BelSee! The winter is past;
BelBelthe rains are over and gone.
BelFlowers appear on the earth;
BelBelthe season of singing has come,
Belthe cooing of doves
BelBelis heard in our land.
BelThe fig tree forms its early fruit;
BelBelthe blossoming vines spread their
BelBelBelfragrance.
BelArise, come, my darling;
BelBelmy beautiful one, come with me."

Lover:
BelMy dove in the clefts of the rock,
BelBelin the hiding places on the
BelBelBelmountainside,
Belshow me your face,
BelBelBellet me hear your voice;
Belfor your voice is sweet,
BelBeland your face is lovely.
BelCatch for us the foxes,
BelBelthe little foxes
Belthat ruin the vieyards,
BelBelour vineyards that are in bloom.

Beloved:
BelMy lover is mine and I am his;
BelBelhe browses among the lilies.
BelUntil the day breaks
BelBeland the shadows flee,
Belturn, mylover,
BelBeland be like a gazelle
Belor like a young stag
BelBelon the rugged hills.
