Song of Solomon 2:2

Dialogue Between Maiden And Her Beloved

¹ I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys. ² M Like a lily among thorns,
so is my darling among the young women. ³ W Like an apricot tree among the trees of the forest,
so is my love among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
