Lark Ascending , touching and soft, endlessly wonderful (5)
I believe the answer is:
caper
'lark' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ascending touching and soft endlessly wonderful' is the wordplay.
'ascending' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'touching' becomes 're' (both can mean concerning or relating to).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for piano, 'soft').
'endlessly wonderful' becomes 'ac' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're'+'p'+'ac'='repac'
'repac' written backwards gives 'CAPER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for caper that I've seen before include "One likely to get pickled" , "Escapade with an edible bud?" , "Skip about for the sauce" , "Something in the sauce" , "prickly shrub" .)
