Song 2:3-7

3

As an apple tree among the trees of the woods,
so is my lover among men.
I delight to rest in his shadow,
and his fruit is sweet to my mouth.

4

He brings me into the banquet hall
and his emblem over me is 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 arm embraces me.

7

I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem,
by the gazelles and hinds of the field,
Do not arouse, do not stir up love
before its own time.
