Song Of Songs 2:1-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. 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.

4. He has brought me to the house of wine;his banner raised over me is love.

5. Sustain me with raisin cakes,strengthen me with apples,for I’m weak with love!
