Ave Maria
NOTE: the footnotes have been removed from this text; return to general view
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Leis sinkt der Dämm'rung Schleier
Auf Wiese, Feld und Wald.
Ein Glockenton erschallt,
Und ruft zur Abendfeier.
Ave, Maria!
Du reine Jungfrau sei gegrüßt.
Die uns der Liebe Leitstern ist,
Und uns des Himmels Glück erschließt.
Ave, Maria!

Der Liebe Stern im Abend
Erglimmt in mildem Schein,
Des müden Menschen Pein
Mit Ruhverheißung labend.
Ave, Maria!
Du Stern der Liebe hast erquickt
Das arme Herz, das Kummer drückt,
Weil's um sich her nur Nacht erblickt.
Ave, Maria! 

Das Licht ist jetzt geschieden,
Der Nachtgesang erklingt,
Und süßer Schlummer bringt
Dem Müden Ruh' und Frieden.
Ave, Maria!
Maria, Born des Friedens du,
Führ' gnädig uns dem Himmel zu,
Zur Ruh', zur ew'gen Ruh'.
Ave, Maria!
