3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest,so is my dearest compared to other men.I love to sit in its shadow,and its fruit is sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to his banquet halland raised the banner of love over me.
5 Restore my strength with raisinsand refresh me with apples!I am weak from passion.
6 His left hand is under my head,and his right hand caresses me.
7 Promise me, women of Jerusalem;swear by the swift deer and the gazellesthat you will not interrupt our love.
8 I hear my lover's voice.He comes running over the mountains,racing across the hills to me.
9 My lover is like a gazelle,like a young stag.There he stands beside the wall.He looks in through the windowand glances through the lattice.
