THE SHULAMITE CONTRASTS HER TRUE LOVER WITH SOLOMON"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 ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples;For I am sick from love.His left hand is under my head,And his right hand doth embrace me.""So is my beloved among the sons" (Song of Solomon 2:3).

1. She compares herself to a simple wild flower, the crocus (RM) of Sharon. The plain, which extended from Joppa to Cæsarea, was proverbial for its flowers (Isaiah 35:2), and travellers continue to revert to this feature: ’We constantly had reason to admire the faint harmonious colouring of the wild flowers on the untilled plain. Cæsarea was surrounded by fields of the yellow marigold. Other flowers were also conspicuous—the red pheasant’s eye, in some cases as big as a poppy; blue pimpernels,... read more

(3) Apple tree.—So the LXX. and Vulg.; Heb., tappuach. Out of the six times that the word is used, four occur in this book, the other two being Proverbs 25:11—“apple of gold”—Joel 1:12, where it is joined with vine, fig, &c, as suffering from drought. It has been very variously identified. The quince, the citron, the apple, and the apricot have each had their advocates.The apple may be set aside, because the Palestine fruit usually called the apple is really the quince, the climate being... read more

The Winter Is Past (Tuesday after Low Sunday) Song of Solomon 2:10-13 I. 'My Beloved spake.' You must lay hold of that little word my: in it lies the chief virtue of love to God: it will be useless that He should be Chief among ten thousand, and altogether lovely, unless it may be my Lord and my God.
