Promise me, women of Jerusalem,
    that you will not interrupt our love.

The Sixth Song

The Women

Who is this coming from the desert,
    arm in arm with her lover?

The Woman

Under the apple tree I woke you,
    in the place where you were born.
Close your heart to every love but mine;
    hold no one in your arms but me.
Love is as powerful as death;
    passion is as strong as death itself.
It bursts into flame
    and burns like a raging fire.
