5“12WhoH4310 is thisH2088 comingH5927 up from the wildernessH4057 LeaningH7514 on her belovedH1730?” “3BeneathH8478 the 45appleH8598 treeH8598 I awakenedH5782 you; ThereH8033 your motherH517 was in laborH2254 with you, ThereH8033 she was in laborH2254 and gaveH3205 you birthH3205.6PutH7760 me like a 6sealH2368 overH5921 your heartH3820, Like a 7sealH2368 on your armH2220. For loveH160 is as strongH5794 as deathH4194, 89JealousyH7068 is as severeH7186 as SheolH7585; Its flashesH7565 are flashesH7565 of fireH784, 10The very flameH7957 of the LordH3050.7ManyH7227 watersH4325 cannotH3201H3808 quenchH3518 loveH160, NorH3808 will riversH5104 overflowH7857 it; 11IfH518 a manH376 were to giveH5414 allH3605 the richesH1952 of his houseH1004 for loveH160, It would be utterlyH936 despisedH936.”
