Song of Solomon 2:1-3
Common English Bible

Love in bloom

[Woman]

2 I’m a rose of the Sharon plain,
        a lily of the valleys.

[Man]

2 Like a lily among thornbushes,
        so is my dearest among the young women.

[Woman]

3 Like an apple tree among the wild trees,
        so is my lover among the young men.
In his shade I take pleasure in sitting,
        and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
