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
