2 As a lily among thorns,so is my love among the maidens.
3 As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,so is my beloved among the young men.In his shadow I sat with great delight,and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banquet house,and his banner over me was love.
5 Sustain me with raisins,refresh me with apples;for I am faint with love.
6 His left hand is under my head,and his right hand embraces me.
7 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,by the gazelles or the does of the field,do not stir up or awaken loveuntil it pleases.
8 The voice of my beloved!Look, he comesleaping over the mountains,bounding over the hills.
