(This is exact rhyme, but choose another correct option)

                               BENEATH a knap where flown
                                    Nestlings play,
                                 Within walls of weathered stone,
                                    Far away
                                 From the files of formal houses,
                                 By the bough the firstling browses,
                                 Lives a Sweet: no merchants meet,
                                 No man barters, no man sells
                                    Where she dwells.

                                                        --Thomas Hardy
