Ave Maria

Ave Maria, maiden mild
0 listen to a maidens prayer
For thou canst hear though from the wild
Thou canst save, thou canst save amid despair

Safe may we sleep beneath thy care
Though banish'd, outcast and revil'd
O maiden, hear a maidens pray'r
O Mother, hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria

Ave Maria, maiden mild
The flinty couch we now must share
Shall seem with down of eider pil'd
If thy, if thy protection hover there

The murky caverns heavy air
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smil'd
Then Maiden hear a Maidens pray
O Mother hear a suppliant child
Ave Maria
