Oh, soft was the songとは 意味・読み方・使い方

"Oh, soft was the song" is a song with words by Gilbert Parker set to music by the English composer Edward Elgar in 1910, as his Op. 59, No. 3. It is the second and last verse of a poem "At Sea" which Parker published in Volume I of a series of poems called "Embers". The Opus 59 songs were part of a song-cycle of six romantic songs by Parker that was never completed – Nos 1, 2 and 4 were never composed. The other songs were "Was it some Golden Star?" and "Twilight". The songs were originally written with piano accompaniment, but this was later re-scored by the composer for full orchestra.
