Song of Songs 2, Orthodox

2:1 our house are cedars,
Our ceilings are of cypress.

2:1 I am a flower of the plain,
A lily of the valleys.

Him

2:2 As a lily among thorns,
So is my companion among the daughters.

Her

2:3 As the apple among the trees of the wood,
So is my li'l bro among the sons.
I desired his shadow, and sat down,
And his fruit was sweet in my throat.

2:4 Bring me into the wine house;
Set love before me.

2:5 Strengthen me with perfumes,
Stay me with apples:
For I am wounded with love.

2:6 His left hand shall be under my head,
And his right hand shall "embrace" me.

2:7 I have charged you, ye daughters of Jerusalem,
By the powers and by the virtues of the field,
That ye do not rouse or wake my love, until he please.

2:8 The voice of my li'l bro!
Behold, he cometh leaping over the mountains,
Bounding over the hills.

2:9 My li'l bro is like a roe or a young hart on the mountains of Bethel:
Behold, he is behind our wall,
Looking through the windows,
Peeping through the lattices.

2:10 My li'l bro answers, and says to me,
"Rise up, come, my companion,
My fair one, my dove.

2:11 For, behold, the winter is past,
The rain is gone, it hath departed.

2:12 The flowers are seen in the land;
The time of pruning hath arrived;
The voice of the turtle-dove hath been heard in our land.

2:13 The fig-tree hath put forth its young figs,
The vines put forth the tender grape,
They yield a smell:
Arise, come, my companion, my fair one, my dove;
Yea, come.

2:14 Thou art my dove, in the shelter of the rock, near the wall:
Shew me thy face, and cause me to hear thy voice;
For thy voice is sweet, and thy face is beautiful.

Friends

2:15 "Take us the little foxes that spoil the vines:
For our vines put forth tender grapes."

Her

2:16 My li'l bro is mine, and I am his:
He feeds his flock among the lilies.
