Song of Solomon 2:1-4

The Message

2 I’m just a wildflower picked from the plains of Sharon,
    a lotus blossom from the valley pools.

² A lotus blossoming in a swamp of weeds—
    that’s my dear friend among the girls in the village.

^3-4 As an apricot tree stands out in the forest,
    my lover stands above the young men in town.
All I want is to sit in his shade,
    to taste and savor his delicious love.
He took me home with him for a festive meal,
    but his eyes feasted on me!
