Song of Solomon 8:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Under the apple tree I awakened you.
There your mother was in labour with you;
    there she who bore you was in labour.

⁶ Set me as a seal upon your heart,
    as a seal upon your arm;
for love is strong as death,
    passion fierce as the grave.
Its flashes are flashes of fire,
    a raging flame.
