2. Like a lily among thornsis my darling among the young women.
3. Like an apple tree among the trees of the forestis my beloved among the young men.I delight to sit in his shade,and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
4. Let him lead me to the banquet hall,and let his banner over me be love.
5. Strengthen me with raisins,refresh me with apples,for I am faint with love.
6. His left arm is under my head,and his right arm embraces me.
7. Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge youby the gazelles and by the does of the field:Do not arouse or awaken loveuntil it so desires.
8. Listen! My beloved!Look! Here he comes,leaping across the mountains,bounding over the hills.
