Abendfeier in Venedig See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ave Maria! Meer und Himmel ruh'n,
Von allen Türmen hallt der Glocken Ton,
Ave Maria! Laßt vom ird'schen Tun,
Zur Jungfrau betet, zu der Jungfrau Sohn,
Des Himmels Scharen selber knieen nun
Mit Lilienstäben vor des Vaters Thron,
Und durch die Rosenwolken wehn die Lieder
Der sel'gen Geister feierlich hernieder.
