Die Aussicht
 (Sung text for setting by S. Gervasoni)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Wenn in die Ferne geht der Menschen wohnend Leben,
Wo in die Ferne sich erglänzt die Zeit der Reben,
Ist auch dabei des Sommers leer Gefilde,
Der Wald erscheint mit seinem dunklen Bilde.

Daß die Natur ergänzt das Bild der Zeiten,
Daß die verweilt, sie schnell vorübergleiten,
Ist aus Vollkommenheit, des Himmels Höhe glänzet
Den Menschen dann, wie Bäume Blüt umkränzet.
The poem is printed with this beneath it:
Mit Untertänigkeit
Scardanelli.
d. 24 Mai 1748.
