I said, “I will go up to the palm tree,
I will take hold of its branches.”
Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
The fragrance of your [a]breath like apples,
And the roof of your mouth like the best wine.

[b]Moving gently the [c]lips of sleepers.
10 (A)I am my beloved’s,
And (B)his desire is toward me.
