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
