Song of Solomon 2:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² As a lily among brambles,
    so is my love among maidens.

³ As an apple tree among the trees of the wood,
    so is my beloved among young men.
With great delight I sat in his shadow,
    and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
⁴ He brought me to the banqueting house,
    and his intention toward me was love.
