Song of Songs 2:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 M Like a lily among thorns,
so is my friend among women.
3 W Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods,
so is my lover among men.
In his shadow[a] I delight to sit,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
4 (A)He brought me to the banquet hall[b]
and his glance at me signaled love.
