Song of Songs 8:3-5

3 O that his left hand were under my head
and that his right hand embraced me!(A)
4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
do not stir up or awaken love
until it is ready!(B)
Homecoming
5 Who is that coming up from the wilderness,
leaning upon her beloved?
Under the apple tree I awakened you.
There your mother was in labor with you;
there she who bore you was in labor.(C)
