The Bride’s Admiration

^{Tools

“^(a)I am the ^(b)^(A)rose of ^(B)Sharon,
The ^(C)lily of the valleys.”

^{Tools
2}

“^(c)Like a lily among the thorns,
So is ^(D)my darling among the ^(d)maidens.”

^{Tools
3}

“^(e)Like an ^(f)^(E)apple tree among the trees of the forest,
So is my beloved among the ^(g)young men.
In his shade I took great delight and sat down,
And his ^(F)fruit was sweet to my ^(h)taste.

^{Tools
4}

“He has ^(G)brought me to his ⁽ⁱ⁾banquet hall,
And his ^(H)banner over me is love.

^{Tools
5}

“Sustain me with ^(I)raisin cakes,
Refresh me with ^(j)^(J)apples,
Because ^(K)I am lovesick.

^{Tools
6}

“Let ^(L)his left hand be under my head
And ^(M)his right hand ^(N)embrace me.”

^{Tools
7}

“^(k)I ^(O)adjure you, O ^(P)daughters of Jerusalem,
By the ^(Q)gazelles or by the ^(R)hinds of the field,
^(S)That you do not arouse or awaken my love
Until ^(l)she pleases.”

^{Tools
8}

“^(m)Listen! My beloved!
Behold, he is coming,
Climbing ^(T)on the mountains,
Leaping on the hills!

^{Tools
9}

“My beloved is like a ^(U)gazelle or a ^(V)young ⁽ⁿ⁾stag.
Behold, he is standing behind our wall,
He is looking through the windows,
He is peering ^(W)through the lattice.

^{Tools
10}

“My beloved responded and said to me,
‘^(X)Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along.

^{Tools
11}

‘For behold, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.

^{Tools
12}

‘The flowers have already appeared in the land;
The time has arrived for ^(o)pruning the vines,
And the voice of the ^(Y)turtledove has been heard in our land.

^{Tools
13}

‘The ^(Z)fig tree has ripened its figs,
And the ^(AA)vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.
Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along!’”

^{Tools
14}

“^(p)O ^(AB)my dove, ^(AC)in the clefts of the ^(q)rock,
In the secret place of the steep ^(r)pathway,
Let me see your ^(s)form,
^(AD)Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your ^(t)form is ^(AE)lovely.”

^{Tools
15}

“^(u)^(AF)Catch the foxes for us,
The ^(v)little foxes that are ruining the vineyards,
While our ^(AG)vineyards are in blossom.”

^{Tools
16}

“^(w)^(AH)My beloved is mine, and I am his;
He ^(AI)pastures his flock among the lilies.

^{Tools
17}

“^(AJ)Until ^(x)the cool of the day when the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved, and be like a ^(AK)gazelle
Or a young stag ^(AL)on the mountains of ^(y)Bether.”
