Your beauty, within and without, is absolute, dear lover, close companion.
7
You are tall and supple, like the palm tree, and your full breasts are like sweet clusters of dates.
8
I say, "I'm going to climb that palm tree! I'm going to caress its fruit!" Oh yes! Your breasts will be clusters of sweet fruit to me, Your breath clean and cool like fresh mint,
9
your tongue and lips like the best wine. Yes, and yours are, too - my love's kisses flow from his lips to mine.
10
I am my lover's. I'm all he wants. I'm all the world to him!
11
Come, dear lover - let's tramp through the countryside.
12
Let's sleep at some wayside inn, then rise early and listen to bird-song. Let's look for wildflowers in bloom, blackberry bushes blossoming white, Fruit trees festooned with cascading flowers. And there I'll give myself to you, my love to your love!
13
Love-apples drench us with fragrance, fertility surrounds, suffuses us, Fruits fresh and preserved that I've kept and saved just for you, my love.
