2:1 The Beloved to Her Lover:

I am a ¹  meadow flower ²  from Sharon, ³ 

a lily ⁴  from the valleys.

2:2 The Lover to His Beloved:

Like ⁵  a lily among the thorns, ⁶ 

so is my darling among the maidens.

2:3 The Beloved about Her Lover:

Like ⁷  an apple tree ⁸  among the trees of the forest,

so is my beloved among the young men.

I delight ⁹  to sit ¹⁰  in his shade, ¹¹ 

and his fruit ¹²  is sweet ¹³  to my taste. ¹⁴
