Horch, der Abendglocke Ton! Ave Maria! Im Nachen kniet der Schiffer schon, Ave Maria! Durch's Spätroth hallt es weit und breit: Gegrüßet sei'st du, reine Maid! Ave Marie! Die du thronst in Wolkenglut, Ave Maria! Nimm unsre Lieb' in deine Hut! Ave Maria! O laß, wie dieses Abends Schein, Sie heiter und voll Frieden sein! Ave Marie!
