She

As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,
    so is my (A)beloved among the young men.
With great delight I sat (B)in his shadow,
    and his (C)fruit was sweet to my taste.
He (D)brought me to the banqueting house,[a]
    and his (E)banner over me was love.
Sustain me with (F)raisins;
    refresh me with apples,
    (G)for I am sick with love.
His (H)left hand is under my head,
    and his right hand (I)embraces me!

She

Like an apple[a] tree among the trees of the forest
    is my beloved(A) among the young men.
I delight(B) to sit in his shade,
    and his fruit is sweet to my taste.(C)
Let him lead me to the banquet hall,(D)
    and let his banner(E) over me be love.
Strengthen me with raisins,
    refresh me with apples,(F)
    for I am faint with love.(G)
His left arm is under my head,
    and his right arm embraces me.(H)
