  —At least it's a close take on Solomon's Song, or perhaps a different translation than my Bible. Mine says:

  "As an apple tree among the trees of the forest,
  so is my beloved among the young men.
  With great delight I sat in his shadow,
  and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
  He brought me to the banqueting house,
  and his banner over me was love."
