3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the sons. I delighted in his shade and sat down, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the house of wine, And his banner over me was love.
5 “Strengthen me with raisin cakes, 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 have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases.
8 The voice of my beloved! See, he is coming, Leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills.
9 My beloved is like a gazelle or like a young stag. See, he is standing behind our wall, Looking through the windows, Peering through the lattice.
