Song 8:12

8:12 The expression “My vineyard” suggests that this verse is spoken by the woman. Here as in 1:8 the literal use of “vineyard” is followed by a metaphorical use. The girl’s “vineyard” is her body, with its natural, rustic beauty. She is content with this treasure to share with the one she loves. Solomon can keep his wealth.
