1 - I am the flower of the field, and the lily of the valleys.

2 - As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

3 - As the apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow, whom I desired: and his fruit was sweet to my palate.

4 - He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me.

5 - Stay me up with flowers, compass me about with apples: because I languish with love.

6 - His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.

7 - I adjure you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and the harts of the field, that you stir not up, nor make the beloved to awake, till she please.

8 - The voice of my beloved, behold he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping over the hills.

9 - My beloved is like a roe, or a young hart. Behold he standeth behind our wall, looking through the windows, looking through the lattices.

10 - Behold my beloved speaketh to me: Arise, make haste, my love, my dove, my beautiful one, and come.

11 - For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone.

12 - The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come: the voice of the turtle is heard in our land:

13 - The fig tree hath put forth her green figs: the vines in flower yield their sweet smell. Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come:

14 - My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the wall, shew me thy face, let thy voice sound in my ears: for thy voice is sweet, and thy face comely.

15 - Catch us the little foxes that destroy the vines: for our vineyard hath flourished.

16 - My beloved to me, and I to him who feedeth among the lilies,

17 - Till the day break, and the shadows retire. Return: be like, my beloved, to a roe, or to a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
