I am a rose on the plain of Sharon,[a]
    a lily[b] in the valleys.

He Speaks

My darling, among other women,
    you are like a lily among thorns!

She Speaks

My lover, among other men,
    you are an apple tree among the wild trees in the forest!

She Speaks to the Women

I enjoy sitting in my lover’s shadow;
    his fruit is so sweet to my taste.
