Song of Songs 2:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

The young man:

2 Among the other young women,
my dear friend is like a lily
that grows among thorn bushes.[a]

The young woman:[b]

3 Among the other young men,
    my lover is like an apple tree
    that grows among the trees of the forest.[c]
I love to sit in his shade.
    His fruit is sweet when I taste it.
4 He has taken me to the room for feasts.
    Everyone can see that he loves me.
