Ave maria! virgin mild
Hearing a virgin begging
From this rock rigid and wild
Shall my prayer blow to you
We sleep safely until tomorrow
Whether people are so cruel
O virgin, see the virgin worry
O mother, listen to a begging child!
Ave maria!
Ave maria! Untainted!
When we sink to this rock
To sleep, and your protection covered us
Will soft the hard rock us think
You smile, rose scents blow
In this dull rock gap
O mother, hear child pleading
O virgin, a virgin calls!
Ave maria!
Ave maria! pure maid!
The earth and the air demons
Chased away by your eye huld
You can't stay here
We want to quietly bow to fate
Because your healer blows us in comfort
The virgin wool hold you bow
The child who pleads for the father
Ave maria!
Ave maria! maiden mild!
Listen to a maiden's prayer!
Thou canst hear though from the wild
Thou canst save amid despair
Safe may we sleep beneath thy care
Though banish'd, outcast and reviled
Maiden! hear a maiden's prayer
Mother, hear a suppliant child!
Ave maria! undefiled!
The flinty couch we now must share
Shall seem this down of eider piled
If thy protection hover there
The murky cavern's heavy air
Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled
Then, maiden! hear a maiden's prayer
Mother, list a suppliant child!
Ave maria!
Ave maria! stainless styled
Foul demons of the earth and air
From this their wonted haunt exiled
Shall flee before thy presence fair
We bow us to our lot of care
Beneath thy guidance reconciled
Hear for a maid a maiden's prayer
And for a father hear a child!
