1 Yo soy la rosa de Sarón, el lirio de los valles. 2 Como lirio entre espinas es mi amada entre las mujeres. 3 Mi amado es un manzano, el mejor del huerto en comparación con cualquier otro joven. Me he sentado en su anhelada sombra y su fruto es delicioso para comer. 4 Me lleva a la sala del banquete, y es evidente para todos cuánto me ama. 5 Dame a comer tu amor tus pasas y tus manzanas pues muero de amor. 6 Tiene su mano izquierda bajo mi cabeza y con la derecha me abraza. 7 Mujeres de Jerusalén, les ruego por las gacelas y cervatillas del bosque que no despierten a mi amada. ¡Déjenla dormir! 8 ¡Ya oigo a mi amado! Viene, saltando por los montes, brincando por las colinas. 9 Mi amado es como la gacela o como el cervatillo. Escuchen; ahí está detrás de la pared; ahora mira por las ventanas, se asoma por las celosías. 10 Mi amado me dijo: «Levántate, amor mío, hermosa mía, y vámonos, 11 porque ha pasado el invierno y han cesado las lluvias; 12 brotan las flores y ha llegado el tiempo del canto de los pájaros. 13 Ya surgen las hojas y las viñas florecen. ¡Qué delicioso aroma! Levántate amor mío, hermosa mía y vámonos». 14 Mi paloma se oculta tras unas rocas, tras un saliente del risco. Llámame, y déjame escuchar tu bella voz y ver tu hermoso rostro. 15 Las pequeñas zorras están arruinando las viñas. Atrápalas; pues los viñedos están en flor. 16 Mi amado es mío y yo soy suya. Él está apacentando entre los lirios. 17 Antes que amanezca y huyan las sombras, ven a mí, amado mío, como una gacela o como un ciervo en los montes de especias.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… mother of the wicked,--until the anger of the Lord be overpast, whereof we also were once children who were sometimes darkness, the remains whereof we carry about us in our body, dead on account of sin, "until the day break and the shadows flee away." "Hope thou in the Lord." In the morning I shall stand in Thy presence, and …

For by what other arrows was she stricken, who saith, "Bring me into the house of wine, place me among perfumes, crowd me among honey, for I have been wounded with love"? By what other arrows is he kindled, who, desirous of returning to God, and coming back from wandering, asketh for help against crafty tongues, and to whom it …
