Ellens Dritter Gesang

Franz Schubert Franz Schubert

Ellen's Third Song

Hail Mary! Virgin mild
Hear a virgin's plea
From this rock stark and wild
Let my prayer waft to thee
We sleep safely until the morning
Though people may be so cruel
Oh Virgin, see the Virgin's worries
Oh Mother, hear a pleading child!
Hail Mary

Hail Mary! Immaculate
When we sink down on this rock
To sleep, and your protection covers us
The hard rock will seem soft to us
You smile, rose scents waft
In this dull rock crevice
Oh Mother, hear a child's plea
Oh Virgin, a virgin calls!
Hail Mary

Hail Mary! Pure maiden
Of the earth and the air demons
Chased away by the grace of your eyes
They cannot dwell here with us
We want to quietly submit to fate
As your holy comfort breathes on us
May the Virgin kindly incline to you
To the child who pleads for the Father
Hail Mary
