And your mouth is like good wine, inside - [She] It is for my beloved, flowing freely, bringing words to sleeping lips. I am my beloved's; and his longing is for me. Come, my beloved, let us go to the field, let us lodge in the villages; we will get up early and go to the vineyards, to see if the vine has flowered, whether its blossoms have opened out, if the pomegranate buds have burst; and there shall I give you my love. The mandrakes give their scent, and on our own doorstep, the sweetest of fruits, new and old; my beloved, I have hoarded them for you. [She] If only you could have been my brother; could have suckled at my mother's breast. I would find you outside, I would kiss you, yet no one would shame me. I would lead you, I would bring you to my mother's house, you would teach me. I would give you to drink, spiced wine, my pomegranate juice. My head rests in his left hand, and his right arm is around me. Swear to me, daughters of Jerusalem, tell me, why do you seek to waken, why to rouse, this love before its time? [Friends] Who is this, rising from the desert, leaning on her beloved? [She] Beneath the apple tree I woke you; where your mother bore you, where in suffering she gave you birth. Set me like a seal upon your heart, like the seal upon your arm - for love is as powerful as death itself, and jealousy as unyielding as the grave; it burns with sparks of fire, with the LORD's own flame. Great waters cannot quench love, nor torrents sweep it by. If a man offered all his inheritance for love - they would laugh him to shame. [The Brothers] We have a little sister, her breasts are not yet grown; what shall we do for our sister when a man comes for her? If she were a wall we would build a silver watchtower; if a door, then we would bar her up with cedar. [She] But I am a wall. My breasts are like towers. It was when I was so that I found peace in his eyes. Once, Solomon had a vineyard at Ba'al Hamon. He gave the vineyard over to the keepers; each keeper brought him in a silver thousand from the fruits. My vineyard stands before me, my own: Solomon, keep your thousand; pay two hundred to each keeper of the vines. [He] \"You who still sit in the gardens, friends listen for your voice. Have me hear.\" [She] Away with you, my beloved, like a gazelle, or a young deer, over perfumed hills."
