Song of Solomon 2:1-3
Complete Jewish Bible

2 I am but a rose from the Sharon,
just a lily in the valleys.

[He]

2 Like a lily among thorns
is my darling among the other women.

[She]

3 Like an apple tree among the other trees in the forest
is my darling among the other men.
I love to sit in his shadow;
his fruit is sweet to my taste.
