'Tis but a metal on my finger,
Yet a diamond in my eye;
An ore from earth and mud,
But were I a poor man,
would be my wheat and rye.

Short, simple yet with meaning. Less of the comma though.

love it
short and to the point
good job :)

I like it but Im not sure I totally understand the last two lines. Im thinking its talking about like pawninga ring for food money but I feel like im wrong

No, the last two lines mean I would NOT pawn the ring for anything as it is so important that it is like food to a poor man: I feel I need it to survive
