beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my
taste. 4 Let him lead me to the banquet hall, and let his banner over me be love. 5
Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. 6 His left arm
is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. 7 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge
you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so
desires. 8 Listen! My beloved! Look! Here he comes, leaping across the mountains,
bounding over the hills. 9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look! There he
stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice. 10 My
beloved spoke and said to me, "Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me. 11
See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. 12 Flowers appear on the earth; the
season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
