Remembrance
English source: Richard Stokes

Glück der Engel! wo geblieben?
Angelic happiness, where are you now?
Wo geblieben, schöner Tag,
Where are you, lovely day,
Wo mit unbesorgtem Lieben
When carefree and in love
Ihre Hand auf meinem Herzen lag?
She pressed her hand to my heart?

O, sie fühlte jeden Schlag,
She felt every beat
Und in jedem lauter Lieben!
And in every beat the purest love!
Wo geblieben
Angelic happiness, where are you now?
Glück der Engel, schöner Tag?
Where are you, lovely day!

A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Schumann, Robert

SCHUMANN, Robert Alexander, born June 8, 1810, at Zwickau in Saxony, was the youngest son of Friedrich August Gottlob Schumann (born 1773), a bookseller, whose father was a clergyman in Saxony, and whose mother, Johanna Christiana (born 1771), was the daughter of Herr Schnabel, Rathschirurgus (surgeon to the town council) at Zeitz.

He promoted his son's leanings towards art in every possible way, with which however his mother seems to have had no sympathy. In the small provincial town where Schumann spent the first eighteen years of his life there was no musician capable of helping him beyond the mere rudiments of the art. There was a talented town-musician, who for several decades was the best trumpeter in the district,^[1] but, as was commonly the case, he practised his art simply as a trade. The organist of the Marienkirche, J.
