Shubert, Franz

Original setting:	play/stop MIDI:
A-ve Ma-ri-a! Jung-frau mild, Er-hö-re ei-ner Jung-frau Fle-hen, Aus die-sem Fel-sen starr und wild Soll mein Ge-bet zu dir hin we-hen. Wir schla-fen si-cher bis zum Mor-gen, Ob Men-schen noch so grau-sam sind. O Jung-frau, sieh der Jung-frau Sor-gen, O Mut-ter, hör ein bit-tend Kind! A-ve Ma-ri-a!	A-ve Ma-ri-a! Un-be-flekt! Wenn wir auf die-sen Fels hin-sin-ken Zum Schlaf, und uns dein Schutz be-deckt, Wir weich der har-te Fels uns dün-ken. Du lä-chelst, Ro-sen-düf-te we-hen In die-ser dump-fen Fel-sen-kluft. O Mut-ter, hö-re Kin-des Fle-hen, O Jung-frau, ei-ne Jung-frau ruft! A-ve Ma-ri-a!	A-ve Ma-ri-a! Rei-ne Magd! Der Er-de und der Luft Dä-mo-nem, Von dei-nes Au-ges Huld ver-jagt, Sie kön-nen hier nicht bei uns wo-hnen. Wir wolln uns still dem Schick-sal beu-gen, Da uns dein heil-ger Trost an-weht; Der Jung-frau wol-le hold dich nei-gen, Dem Kind, das für den Va-ter fleht! A-ve Ma-ri-a!

English text after "Lady of the Lake" by Walter Scott as listed on THIS page:
Ave, Maria! Maiden mild! Oh listen to a maiden's prayer; For thou canst hear tho' from the wild, And Thou canst save amid despair, Amid despair. Safe may we sleep beneath thy care Tho' banish'd outcast and reviled, Oh, Maiden hear a maidens prayer. Oh Mother, hear a suppliant child! Ave Maria!	Ave, Maria! Undefiled! The flinty couch we now must share, Shall seem with down of eider piled If Thy, if Thy protection hover there. The murky cavern's heavy air Shall breath of Balm if thou hast smiled; Then, Maiden hear a maiden's prayer. Oh Mother, hear a suppliant child! Ave Maria!	Ave, Maria! Stainless-styled! Foul demons of the earth and air, From this their wonted haunt exiled, Shall flee, shall flee before thy presence fair. We bow us to our lot of care Beneath Thy guidance reconciled, Hear for a maid a maiden's prayer; And for a father bear a child! Ave Maria!

Ellens Gesang III (Ave Maria)
