I am arose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.
As a lily among brambles,
so is my love among maidens.
I don't know what it really means, and I'm not sure that Kate knows anything
about them beyond that fact that they sound neat. It may have some deeper
meaning, but I bet Kate was just reading SoS and liked the sound of them.
Of course the Sharon part is a reference to the Plain of Sharon south of
Nazareth and near the coast of the Mediterranean. I have always assumed this
is just a way for her to say "I am really pretty." Ros and lillies are
generally attractive things.
