Song of Solomon 2:1-3

Contemporary English Version

2 I am merely a rose^[a]
from the land of Sharon,
    a lily from the valley.

² My darling, when compared
with other young women,
    you are a lily among thorns.

³ And you, my love,
are an apple tree
    among trees of the forest.
Your shade brought me pleasure;
    your fruit was sweet.
