Song Of Songs 2:1-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Bride: I am a flower of the open field and a lily of the steep valleys.

2. Groom: Like a lily among the thorns, so is my loved one among the daughters.

3. Bride to Chorus: Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat beneath the shadow of the one whom I desired, and his fruit was sweet to my palate.

4. He brought me into the storeroom of wine. He set charity in order within me.

5. Prop me up with flowers. Close me in with apples. For I languish through love.

6. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
