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.
