Ave maria Maiden mild! Oh, listen to a maiden’s prayer For thou canst hear amid the wild ’this thou, ’this thou canst save amid despair We slumber safely till the morrow Though we’ve by 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 tecum The murky cavern’s air so heavy Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled Oh, maiden, hear a maiden pleadin’ Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child Ave maria Ave maria
