Song of Solomon 7:8-10

New American Standard Bible

⁸ I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree,
I will grasp its fruit stalks.’
Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
And the fragrance of your ^[a]breath like ^(A)apples,
⁹ And your ^[b](B)mouth like the best wine!”

“It ^(C)goes down smoothly for my beloved,
Flowing gently through the lips of those who are asleep.

¹⁰ “^(D)I am my beloved’s,
And his ^(E)desire is for me.
