"I am the ^(F1)(C1)rose of ^(C2)Sharon, The ^(C3)lily of the valleys."

"Like a lily among the thorns, So is ^(C1)my darling among the ^(F1)young women."

"Like an ^(C1)apple tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the ^(F1)young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, And his ^(C2)fruit was sweet to my ^(F2)taste.

-"He has ^(C1)brought me to his ^(F1)banquet hall, And his ^(C2)banner over me is love.

-"Refresh me with ^(C1)raisin cakes, Sustain me with ^(C2)apples, Because ^(C3)I am lovesick.

-"^(C1)His left hand is under my head, And ^(C1)his right hand ^(C2)embraces me."

"^(C1)Swear to me, you ^(C2)daughters of Jerusalem, By the ^(C3)gazelles or by the ^(C4)does of the field, ^(C1)That you will not disturb or awaken my love Until she pleases."

"Listen! My beloved! Behold, he is coming, Leaping ^(C1)on the mountains, Jumping on the hills!

-"My beloved is like a ^(C1)gazelle or a ^(C2)young ^(F1)stag. Behold, he is standing behind our wall, He is looking through the windows, He is peering ^(C3)through the lattice.

"My beloved responded and said to me, '^(C1)Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along.

-'For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.

-'The blossoms have already appeared in the land; The time has arrived for ^(F1)pruning the vines, And the voice of the ^(C1)turtledove has been heard in our land.

-'The ^(C1)fig tree has ripened its fruit, And the ^(C2)vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance. Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along!'"

"^(C1)My dove, ^(C2)in the clefts of the ^(F1)rock, In the hiding place of the mountain pathway, Let me see ^(F2)how you look, ^(C3)Let me hear your voice; For your voice is pleasant, And ^(F2)you look ^(C4)delightful."

"^(C1)Catch the ^(F1)foxes for us, The ^(F2)little ^(F1)foxes that are ruining the vineyards, While our ^(C2)vineyards are in blossom."

"^(C1)My beloved is mine, and I am his; He ^(C2)pastures his flock among the lilies.

-"^(C1)Until the cool of the day, when the shadows flee, Turn, my beloved, and be like a ^(C2)gazelle Or a young stag ^(C3)on the mountains of ^(F1)Bether."
