Remembering

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Happiness of angels! where has it gone?
Where has gone the beautiful day,
When with unconcerned loving
Her hand lay upon my heart?

Oh! she perceived every beat
Und in each [beat] was pure loving!
Where has it gone, where has it gone,
Happiness of angels, beautiful day!
