Man

2 Like a lily among thorns,

so is my darling among the young women.

Woman

3 Like an apricotM tree among the trees of the forest,

so is my love among the young men.

I delight to sit in his shade,

and his fruit is sweet to my taste.

and he looked on me with love.B,b

refresh me with apricots,C

for I am lovesick.c

and his right arm embrace me.d
