 ... 

Fonti e colline chiesi agli Dei;
m'udiro alfine, pago io vivrò,
né mai quel fonte co' desir miei,
né mai quel monte trapasserò.

Note: in one of many repetitions within Hensel's song, the final two lines become: 

Né mai quel monte co' miei pensieri,
né mai quel fonte trapasserò

Composition:

    Set to music by Fanny Hensel (1805 - 1847), "Canzonetta", H-U 104, stanza 2 [ voice and piano ]
