He

As a lily among brambles,
    so is (A)my love among the young women.

She

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