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.

Vespro a Venezia

(Sung text translation for setting by C. Schumann)

See original

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Ave Maria! Mare e Cielo riposano,
da tutte le torri echeggia il suono delle campane.
Ave Maria! Lasciate le occupazioni di questo mondo,
pregate la Vergine, pregate il Figlio della Vergine.
Le stesse schiere celesti adesso si inginocchiano
con steli di giglio davanti al trono del Padre,
e attraverso le nubi rosate spirano i canti
degli spiriti beati verso la Terra.
