⁵ Who is this coming out of the desert,
    leaning on her lover?

I woke you under the apple tree
    where you were born;
    there your mother gave birth to you.
⁶ Put me like a seal on your heart,
    like a seal on your arm.
Love is as strong as death;
    jealousy is as strong as the grave.
Love bursts into flames
    and burns like a hot fire.
⁷ Even much water cannot put out the flame of love;
    floods cannot drown love.
If a man offered everything in his house for love,
    people would totally reject it.
