Song of Songs 2:3-6 - The Woman Answers

³ (The Shulammite Bride)
“Like an apple tree [rare and welcome] among the trees of the forest,
So is my beloved among the young men!
In his shade I took great delight and sat down,
And his fruit was sweet and delicious to my palate.
⁴
“He has brought me to his banqueting place,
And his banner over me is love [waving overhead to protect and comfort me].
⁵
“Sustain me with raisin cakes,
Refresh me with apples,
Because I am sick with love.
⁶
“Let his left hand be under my head
And his right hand embrace me.”
