YLT - Song of Solomon - 2

2:1  As a lily among the thorns,

2:2  So is my friend among the daughters!

2:3  As a citron among trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his fruit is sweet to my palate.

2:4  He hath brought me in unto a house of wine, And his banner over me is love,

2:5  Sustain me with grape-cakes, Support me with citrons, for I am sick with love.

2:6  His left hand is under my head, And his right doth embrace me.

2:7  I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till she please!

2:8  The voice of my beloved! lo, this--he is coming, Leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.

2:9  My beloved is like to a roe, Or to a young one of the harts. Lo, this--he is standing behind our wall, Looking from the windows, Blooming from the lattice.

2:10  My beloved hath answered and said to me, `Rise up, my friend, my fair one, and come away,

2:11  For lo, the winter hath passed by, The rain hath passed away--it hath gone.

2:12  The flowers have appeared in the earth, The time of the singing hath come, And the voice of the turtle was heard in our land,

2:13  The fig-tree hath ripened her green figs, And the sweet-smelling vines have given forth fragrance, Rise, come, my friend, my fair one, yea, come away.

2:14  My dove, in clefts of the rock, In a secret place of the ascent, Cause me to see thine appearance, Cause me to hear thy voice, For thy voice is sweet, and thy appearance comely.

2:15  Seize ye for us foxes, Little foxes--destroyers of vineyards, Even our sweet-smelling vineyards.

2:16  My beloved is mine, and I am his, Who is delighting among the lilies,

2:17  Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled away, Turn, be like, my beloved, To a roe, or to a young one of the harts, On the mountains of separation!
