The Loved One

Like an apple[a] tree among the trees of the forest,
    so is my beloved among the young men.
In his shade I take delight and sit down,
    and his fruit is sweet to my taste.[b]
He has brought me to the banquet hall,
    and his banner over me is love.
Sustain me with raisin cakes,
    refresh me with apples,[c]
        for I’m weak with love.
