2 Like a lily among thornbushes,so is my dearest among the young women.[Woman]
3 Like an apple tree among the wild trees,so is my lover among the young men.In his shade I take pleasure in sitting,and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
4 He has brought me to the house of wine;his banner raised over me is love.
5 Sustain me with raisin cakes,strengthen me with apples,for I’m weak with love!
6 His left arm is beneath my head,his right embraces me.
7 Make a solemn pledge, daughters of Jerusalem,by the gazelles or the wild deer:Don’t rouse, don’t arouse loveuntil it desires.
8 Listen! It’s my lover: here he comes now,leaping upon the mountains,bounding over the hills.
