Song of Solomon 8:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ My lover’s left hand is under my head.
    And his right arm holds me tight!
⁴ Women of Jerusalem, promise me.
    Promise not to wake love.
Don’t excite my feelings of love
    until I’m ready.

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

I woke you under the apple tree.
    It was there that you were born.
    There your mother gave birth to you.
