Softly

Softly

 Softly she trod o’er the damp grass

Why was it damp you may well ask

Why was it softly and not a normal pace

Was it the rain or was she outa place

 

Why was it damp is stuck in my mind

Most of my answers are very unkind

It is a mystery I may well never know

Cause I didn’t write it nor I made it so

 

Something about this line puzzle me

Why would you right it and where is the V

What is o’er and is it a real word

It looks misspelt and rather absurd

 

Softly she trod o’er the damp grass

Did the author pull it out of their past

Tis one of those words from day’s gone bye

I pondered upon it till my imagination did cry
