Song of Solomon 2:1-3
New Living Translation

Young Woman

2 I am the spring crocus blooming on the Sharon Plain,[a]
    the lily of the valley.

Young Man

2 Like a lily among thistles
    is my darling among young women.

Young Woman

3 Like the finest apple tree in the orchard
    is my lover among other young men.
I sit in his delightful shade
    and taste his delicious fruit.
