Woman

Like an apricot[a] tree among the trees of the forest,
so is my love among the young men.
I delight to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banquet hall,[b](A)
and he looked on me with love.[c](B)
Sustain me with raisins;
refresh me with apricots,[d]
for I am lovesick.(C)
