2. Among the young women, my darlingis like a lily among thorns!
3. Among young men, my loveris like an apple tree among the trees in the woods!I enjoy sitting in his shadow.His fruit is sweet to my taste.
4. He brought me to the banquet room.His banner over me is love.
5. Strengthen me with raisins.Refresh me with apples,because I am weak with love.
6. My lover’s left hand is under my head.And his right arm holds me tight!
7. Women of Jerusalem, promise meby the gazelles and the deer.Promise not to wake love.Don’t excite my feelings of loveuntil I’m ready.
8. I hear my lover’s voice.He comes jumping across the mountains.He comes skipping over the hills!
9. My lover is like a gazelle or a young deer.Look, he stands behind our wall.He stares in through the windows,looking through the blinds.
