I walked by the lake in the morning light Caught movement in the corner of my eye Stood a beautiful woman dressed in white Silence was broken with a mournful cry. I rushed to the spot where she I had seen Finding not a trace at where she had stood Still was the water, ‘twas a blackish green Had she fell in or walked into the wood. A stone nearby with inscription it read June the twelfth in eighteen thirty seven Lady Ava drowned here, sadly found dead We pray her souls now resting in heaven. Had I seen a ghost? That I’ll never know Walks down by the lake, I no longer go. Written on the 18th September 2018. For The Unexplained Poetry Contest Sponsored By Carolyn Devonshire.
