In den angenehmen Büschen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Available translation(s):  CAT ENG FRE
In den angenehmen Büschen,
Wo sich Licht und Schatten mischen,
Suchet sich in stiller Lust
Aug' und Herze zu erfrischen;
Dann erheb't sich [aus]1 der Brust
Mein zufriedenes Gemüte,
Und lobsingt des Schöpfers Güte,

Durch allgemeine Schatten bricht
Ein sanftes Licht,
In welchem Dunckelheit mit sanfter Klarheit schertzet,
Und sich so wunderbar vereint,
Daß öfters jenes Strahl geschwärtzet,
Und dieses Schwartz versilbert, scheint.

G. Händel sets stanza 1
