Artist: Burl Ives   Title: Ave Maria   ----------------------------------      Ave maria   Maiden mild!   Oh, listen to a maiden’s prayer   For thou canst hear amid the wild   ’tis thou, ’tis thou canst save amid despair   We slumber safely till the morrow   Though we’ve by man outcast reviled   Oh, maiden, see a maiden’s sorrow   Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child!   Ave maria   Ave maria, gratia plena   Maria, gratia plena   Maria, gratia plena   Ave, ave dominus   Dominus tecum   The murky cavern’s air so heavy   Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled   Oh, maiden, hear a maiden pleadin’   Oh, mother, hear a suppliant child   Ave maria   Ave maria
