Ave Maria! Maiden mild   Oh! Listen to a maidens prayer   For thou canst hear them in the wild.   Tis thou, tis thou canst hear amid despair.   We slumbered safely 'til the morrow      Though we, by men outcast, reviled   Oh maiden, see a maidens sorrow   Oh mother, hear a suppliant child!   Ave Maria, ahh      Ave Maria   Gratia plena   Maria, gratia plena   Maria, gratia plena   Ave, ave Dominus   Dominus tecum      The murky caverns air so heavy   Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled   Oh maiden, hear a maiden pleading   Oh mother, hear a suppliant child!   Ave Maria
