by Paul Heyse (1830 - 1914)

Ich glaube in alten Tagen
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?
