I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys

 Son of songs 2:1-17

I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.  SHE

Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women. HE

Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love. His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you by the gazelles and by the does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires. SHE

My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom. HE

My beloved is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the rugged hills. SHE

Complement is exchanged for compliment. The bride's thoughts dwell on her lover with passionate longing, thrilling at his voice for the memory of his words. The bridegroom calls to her in the idyllic beauty of springtime. It is all in a country setting. Only the aside of verse 7 contains any hint of the court.

Why?

Bride and bridegroom love each other, they delight so sitting in his side and enjoying the freedom and love.

My beloved is mine and I am his, it is the confidence and love among their two.

How?

Beloved and love our lover is a beautiful thing!
