Scripture Text: Song of Solomon 7:7-9 (22a, page 187)
Verses 7-9
This – your stature—is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like clusters of fruit. I say, I will climb the palm tree I will take hold of its stalks of dates. May your breasts be like cluster of grapes and the fragrance of your breath like apples. And your mouth like the best wine
going down smoothly for my beloved,
flowing gently through your lips as we fall asleep.
