Silent Skies - Ave Maria

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
Safe may we sleep beneath thy care
Tho' banish'd outcast and reviled
Oh, Maiden hear a maiden’s 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 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 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!
