Я ‑‑ цветок полевой, я ‑‑ лилия долин
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Latin
«Я -- цветок полевой, я -- лилия долин.»
« ,,Голубица моя белолонная,
Между юных подруг -- словно в тернии крин.»
« Словно [яблонь]1 в цвету благовонная
[Посредине]2 бесплодных деревьев лесных,
Милый мой - меж друзей молодых;
[Я под тень его сесть восхотела - и села,
И плоды его сладкие ела.
Проведите меня в дом вина и пиров,
Одарите любовною властию,
Положите на одр из душистых цветов:
Я больна, я уязвлена страстию.
Вот рука его здесь, под моей головой;
Он меня обнимает другой...
Заклинаю вас, юные девы Шалима,
Я должна, я хочу быть любима!]3»
