She

It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
    gliding over lips and teeth.[b]

10 (B)I am my beloved's,
    (C)and his desire is for me.

The Bride Gives Her Love

11 (D)Come, my beloved,
    let us go out into the fields
    and lodge in the villages;[c]
12 let us go out early to the vineyards
    (E)and see whether the vines have budded,
whether (F)the grape blossoms have opened
    and the pomegranates are in bloom.
There I will give you my love.
13 (G)The mandrakes give forth fragrance,
    and beside our doors are all choice fruits,
(H)new as well as old,
    which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
