Once I set to buy your face, With the gold of the greatest smith. In vain, I came to see, That a strand of your hair Is like the wave of the sky And a set of your teeth, Is like a piece of diamond Again I dare to pay your venus With the silver brought from Greece In vain, I still came to see, That a ball of your eyes, Is like a galaxy at night, And a breath of your nose, Is like a life to a rose. No precious stone on earth, Can buy your priceless winsome And win your priceless heart. Except the poor young poet, Who can just be graced by you Perhaps because with poor him, You find your muse 'nd breath at ease POET: OLUWATIMILEHIN A. ALABI BABY LAWYER

ONCE I SET TO BUY YOUR FACE
Once I set to buy your face, With the gold of the greatest smith. In vain, I came to see, That a strand of your hair Is like the wave of the sky And a set of your teeth, Is like a piece of diamond Again I dare to pay your venus With the silver brought from Greece In vain, I still came to see, That a ball of your eyes, Is like a galaxy at night, And a breath of your nose, Is like a life to a rose. No precious stone on earth, Can buy your priceless winsome And win your priceless heart. Except the poor young poet, Who can just be graced by you Perhaps because with poor him, You find your muse 'nd breath at ease POET: OLUWATIMILEHIN A. ALABI BABY LAWYER
