== History ==
*This song is a youthful work by Legley, of which only an incomplete autograph has been preserved.<ref>The autograph starts at ''-twijf'ling 't smeekend oog geheven''.</ref> It was composed in a late romantic idiom, probably in the 1930s.
*The text comes from the [http://cf.hum.uva.nl/dsp/ljc/prosper.langendonck/31.html Beatrice fragments] of [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosper_Antoine_Van_Langendonck Prosper van Langendonck]. Possibly the choice of text was influenced by Beatrix Souvage, whom Legley married in 1939.

== Music ==
*instrumentation: high voice and piano
*text incipit: '''En eens... 't was avond ... 'k had zoolang gezworven''' [And once... it was evening... I had wandered so long]<ref>We assume that Legley only set to music the fourth of the Beatrice fragments.</ref>
