Il testo della Ave maria

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 dispair
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
