In alten Tagen
 (Sung text for setting by F. Schreker)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich glaube in alten Tagen,
daliebt ich ein Mägdelein.
Mein Herz ist krank und Trübe,
es mag wohl ein Märchen sein.

Ich glaube in alten Tagen,
da sonnte sich einer im Glück,
war ich's oder war es ein andrer,
vergebens sinn ich zurück.

Ich glaube in alten Tagen,
da sang ich, ich weiss nicht was,
hab' ich denn alles vergessen,
seitdem sie mich vergass?

Composition:

    Set to music by Franz (August Julius) Schreker (1878 - 1934), "In alten Tagen", op. 3 no. 1, published 1901 [ voice and piano ], from Fünf Gedichte von Paul Heyse für 1 Singstimme mit Pianoforte, no. 1, Leipzig, Robitschek
