Lyrics

Intro

I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,

That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please

Verse

Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?

I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth:

there she brought thee forth that bare thee.

Chorus

Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm:

For love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave:

The coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it:

Verse

If a man would give all the substance of his house for love,

It would utterly be contemned.

Bridge

We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts:

What shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?

If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver:

And if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.

Outro

I am a wall, and my breasts like towers:

Then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
