Ave Maria

Ave Maria

Maiden mild

Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer

For thou canst hear amid the wild

This thou, this thou can save amid

Amid despair

We slumber safely till the morrow

Though we've by man outcast reviled

Oh, maiden, hear a maiden's sorrow

Oh, Mother, hear a suppliant child

Ave Maria

The murky cavern's air so heavy

Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled

Oh, maiden, hear a maiden pleading

Oh, Mother, hear a suppliant child

Ave Maria

Gratia plena
