The Palm Tree and the Palm Tree Climber

The Lover to His Beloved:

7 Your stature is like a palm tree,

and your breasts are like clusters of grapes.

8 I want to climb the palm tree,

and take hold of its fruit stalks.

May your breasts be like the clusters of grapes,

and may the fragrance of your breath be like apricots!

9 May your mouth be like the best wine,

flowing smoothly for my beloved,

gliding gently over our lips as we sleep together.
