Returning to Live in the South (I)

Little not fit common charm 
Nature basic love mound hill 
Mistake fall world net in 
Thus went ten three years 
Cage bird long for old forest 
Pond fish long for old deep pool 
Start barren south fields border 
Observe awkward return field orchard 
Plot residence 10 more acre 
Grass house 8 9 rooms 
Elm willow shade behind eaves 
Peach plum collect hall before 
Dim far person village 
Reluctant to part ruins village smoke 
Dog bark deep alley in 
Chicken mulberry tree peak 
Door yard no earth mix 
Modest room have more vacant 
Long at confinement in 
Again get return self right
