Much to my regret the profider that hosted my webpages
for more than 25 years has announced that after 1 July
2026 they end the hosting service.
Therefore all my web pages have been moved to another
provider, which means the base URL changes from
https://josvg.home.xs4all.nl/ to http://www.josvg.dds.nl/.
The current page can now be found here.

The Planets -- He moved through the fair

My young love said to me
Your mother won't mind
And your father won't slight me
For my lack of kind
And he stepped away from me
And this he did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day

He stepped away from me
And he moved through the fair
And fondly I watched him
Move here and move there
And then he went his way onwards
With one star awake
Like the sun in the evening
Moves over the lake

I dreamt it last night
That my young love came in
So softly he entered
His feet made no din
He laid right beside me
And this he did say
It will not be long love
Till our wedding day

It will not be long love

Till our wedding day

From: Classical Graffiti (20??).
