Ellen's Third Song (Ave María)

Hail, Mary! Meek maiden.
Heed the supplications of a maiden.
From this bare, savage rocks
my prayers will drift towards you.
We sleep safely until morning
though men are still so cruel.
Oh Maiden, see the strife of a maiden!
Oh mother, hear a pleading child!
Hail, Mary!
 
Hail, Mary! Untarnished!
When from this crag we drift away
towards sleep, and you deck us in your protection
the hard rocks will seem soft to us.
You laugh, and a scent of roses floats
over this airless abyss.
Oh mother, hear your children imploring you!
Oh Maiden, a maiden calls out to you!
Hail Mary!
 
Hail Mary! Pristine servant!
The demons of the air and earth
are driven away by the glory in your eyes.
They cannot live here with us.
We wish to turn calmly towards fate,
for your holy consolation hangs over us,
The Maiden will lean in towards you,
the child that implores to his Father.
Hail, Mary!
