Il testo della Ave maria

Ave maria! maiden mild
Oh! listen to a maiden's pray'r
For thou canst hear 'em in the wild
'tis thou, 'tis thou canst save amid despair
We slumber safely 'till the 'morrow
Though we by men outcast, reviled
O 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 smil'd
Oh maiden, hear a maiden pleading
Oh mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave maria...
Ave maria...
