³ “^[a]Like an ^[b](A)apple tree among the trees of the forest,
So is my beloved among the sons.
In his shade I had great desire and sat down,
And his ^(B)fruit was sweet to my ^[c]taste.

¹³ Your shoots are ^[a]an ^(A)orchard of ^(B)pomegranates
With ^(C)choice fruits, ^(D)henna with nard plants,

¹⁶ “^[a]Awake, O north wind,
And come, wind of the south;
Make my ^(A)garden breathe out fragrance,
Let its ^[b]spices flow forth.
May ^(B)my beloved come into his garden
And eat its ^(C)choice fruits!”
