by Karl Johann, Ritter Braun von Braunthal (1802 - 1866), as Jean Charles

An die Ferne
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Wohin das Aug' sich trage,
Auf Hügeln und im Thal',
Beim Mondlicht und am Tage,
Dich sieht es überall!

Wohin das Auge fliege,
Der Geist nur reichen kann,
Es findet deine Züge,
Dem Schönsten [schwebst]1 voran.

Wohin das Auge falle,
Dich sieht es hingestellt,
Hin durch die Sterne alle,
Hin durch die ganze Welt!
