Ave Maria.
113
Say that the world’s dust was in my eyes,
Ave Maria, hear my prayer!
Say that my ears were deaf with city cries,
Ave Maria, hear my prayer!
Say that man and beast so questioned,
(Ave Maria, hear my cry!)
That on the cross He hung beloved but dead.
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
In the darkness of the night I awake and weep,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
All that I am not wakes my soul from sleep,
Ave Maria, hear my cry!
