Songs:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I am a rose of Sharon ,
a lily of the valleys .
*
As a lily among thorns ,
so is my love among the daughters .
*
As an apple-tree among the trees of the wood ,
so is my beloved among the sons .
Under its shadow I delighted to sit ,
and its fruit was sweet to my taste .
*
He hath brought me to the banqueting-house ,
and his banner over me is love .
* '
Stay ye me with dainties ,
refresh me with apples ;
for I am love-sick .'
*
Let his left hand be under my head ,
and his right hand embrace me .
* '
I adjure you ,
O daughters of Jerusalem ,
by the gazelles ,
and by the hinds of the field ,
that ye awaken not ,
nor stir up love ,
until it please .'
*
Hark !
my beloved !
behold ,
he cometh ,
leaping upon the mountains ,
skipping upon the hills .
*
My beloved is like a gazelle or a young hart ;
behold ,
he standeth behind our wall ,
he looketh in through the windows ,
he peereth through the lattice .
*
My beloved spoke ,
and said unto me : '
Rise up ,
my love ,
my fair one ,
and come away .
*
For ,
lo ,
the winter is past ,
the rain is over and gone ;
*
The flowers appear on the earth ;
the time of singing is come ,
and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land ;
*
The fig-tree putteth forth her green figs ,
and the vines in blossom give forth their fragrance .
Arise ,
my love ,
my fair one ,
and come away .
*
O my dove ,
that art in the clefts of the rock ,
in the covert of the cliff ,
let me see thy countenance ,
let me hear thy voice ;
for sweet is thy voice ,
and thy countenance is comely .'
* '
Take us the foxes ,
the little foxes ,
that spoil the vineyards ;
for our vineyards are in blossom .'
*
My beloved is mine ,
and I am his ,
that feedeth among the lilies .
*
Until the day breathe ,
and the shadows flee away ,
turn ,
my beloved ,
and be thou like a gazelle or a young hart upon the mountains of spices .
