Ave Maria!
Maiden mild!
Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer
For thou canst hear amid the wild
'Tis thou, 'tis thou canst save amid despair
We slumber safely till the 'morrow
Though we be man – outcast, reviled
Oh, maiden, see a maiden's sorrow
Oh, Mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave maria
Ave maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tec*m
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!
Ave Maria!
