2. My darling, among other women, you are like a lily among thorns!
3. My lover, among other men, you are an apple tree among the wild trees in the forest! I enjoy sitting in my lover’s shadow; his fruit is so sweet to my taste.
4. My lover took me to the wine house; his intent toward me was love.
5. Strengthen me with raisins; refresh me with apples, because I am weak with love.
6. My lover’s left arm is under my head, and his right arm holds me.
7. Women of Jerusalem, promise me by the gazelles and wild deer, don’t awaken love, don’t arouse love, until I am ready.
8. I hear my lover’s voice. Here it comes, jumping over the mountains, skipping over the hills.
9. My lover is like a gazelle or a young deer. Look at him standing behind our wall, staring out the window, looking through the lattice.
