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
