[SQUAW]

Chapter 2

I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

GLAVA 2

Ja sam ruža saronska, ljiljan u dolu.
Šta je ljiljan među trnjem, to je draga moja među devojkama.
Šta je jabuka među drvetima šumskim, to je dragi moj među momcima; želeh hlad njen, i sedoh, i rod je njen sladak grlu mom.
Uvede me u kuću gde je gozba, a zastava mu je ljubav k meni.
Potkrepite me žbanovima, pridržite me jabukama, jer sam bolna od ljubavi.
Leva je ruka njegova meni pod glavom, a desnom me grli.
Zaklinjem vas, kćeri jerusalimske, srnama i košutama poljskim, ne budite ljubavi moje, ne budite je, dok joj ne bude volja.
Glas dragog mog; evo ga, ide skačući preko gora, poskakujući preko humova.
Dragi je moj kao srna ili kao jelenče; evo ga, stoji iza našeg zida, gleda kroz prozor, viri kroz rešetku.
Progovori dragi moj i reče mi: Ustani, draga moja, lepotice moja, i hodi.
Jer gle, zima prođe, minuše daždi, otidoše.
Cveće se vidi po zemlji, dođe vreme peva nju, i glas grličin čuje se u našoj zemlji.
Smokva je pustila zametke svoje, i loza vinova ucvala miriše. Ustani, draga moja, lepotice moja, i hodi.
Golubice moja u raselinama kamenim, u zaklonu vrletnom! Daj da vidim lice tvoje, daj da čujem glas tvoj; jer je glas tvoj sladak i lice tvoje krasno.
Pohvatajte nam lisice, male lisice, što kvare vinograde, jer naši vinogradi cvatu.
Moj je dragi moj, i ja sam njegova, on pase među ljiljanima.
Dok zahladi dan i senke otidu, vrati se, budi kao srna, dragi moj, ili kao jelenče po gorama razdeljenim.
