I am the rose of Sharon,
and the lily of the valley.
As the lily among thorns,
so is my love among the daughters.
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.
I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine:
he feedeth among the lilies.
I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse:
I have gathered my myrrh with spice;
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
I have drunk my wine with my milk:
eat, O friends;
drink, yea drink abundantly, O beloved.
I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine:
he feedeth among the lilies.
He brought me to the banqueting house,
and his banner over me is love.
