Ava Maria |
| Ave Maria! |
| Maiden mild! |
| O listen to a maiden’s prayer! |
| For thou canst hear amid the wild |
| Tis thou, tis thou canst save amid despair. |
| We slumber safely 'til the morrow, |
| Tho' we, by men, outcast, reviled; |
| O maiden! |
| See a maiden’s sorrow |
| O mother, hear a suppliant child! |
| Ave Maria! |
| Ave Maria! |
| Undefiled! |
| The flinty couch whereon we’re sleeping |
| Shall seem with down of eider piled, |
| If thou above, sweet, watch our keeping |
| The murky cavern’s air’s so heavy |
| Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled; |
| O maiden! |
| Hear a maiden’s pleading! |
| O mother, hear a suppliant child! |
| Ave Maria! |
| Ave Maria! |
| Stainless styled! |
| O fiends of air and earth the essence |
| From this their wonted haunt exiled |
| Shall flee before thy holy presence |
| We bow beneath our care so laden |
| To thy dear guidance reconciled; |
| Then hear, o maiden, simple maiden! |
| And for a father hear a child! |
| Ave Maria! |
