Song of Solomon 2:4
2 Like a lily among the thorns is my darling among the maidens.
3 Like an apricot tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
He has brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me is love.
5 Sustain me with raisins; refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.
6 His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
