Ave Maria

Ave Maria

Ave Maria Mother mild Oh listen to a woman's prayer

For you can hear me through the wild And you can save

me from despair Keep me from despair And safe I sleep

beneath your core Though banished outcast,

and reviled Oh mother hear a woman's prayer Oh mother

hear your loving child Ave Maria Ave Maria Undefiled

The coldest night we share together Will seem with

down of eider piled If your protection covers there

If you are there The darkness and the heavy air Shall

breathe of perfume if you have smiled Oh mother hear

a woman's prayer Oh mother hear your loving child Ave Maria
