Es klingt durch Wald und Feld und Auen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Es klingt durch Wald und Feld und Auen
Ein Glöcklein rein und silberhell.
Es fließt der Klang in allen Gauen, 
Ein himmlisch reiner Zauberquell.
Es sollen alle Glocken klingen,
Dir, o Maria gnadenvoll,
Zu dir der Glockengruß soll dringen,
Wie einst des Engels Gruß erscholl:
Ave Maria! Ave Maria!

Es sinken graue Nebel nieder,
Verschleiert liegt die weite Rund'!
Zur Andacht ruft uns alle wieder
Des Aveglöckleins Silbermund.
O Wundervolle, trag' das Flehen
Zu deines Sohnes hohem Thron,
Auf daß wir seine Gnade sehen;
Vernimm des Grußes milden Ton:
Ave Maria! Ave Maria!

Through forest, field, and meadows rings

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Through forest, field, and meadows rings
A little bell, pure and silver-bright.
The sound flows into all regions,
A heavenly pure wellspring of enchantment.
All bells shall toll
For Thee, Mary full of grace,
The bells’ greeting shall reach to Thee
As once the angel’s greeting rang out:
Ave Maria! Ave Maria!

Grey mists descend,
Everything round about lies veiled!
We are all being called once more to our devotions
By the silver mouth of the Ave-bell.
Oh, Wondrous One, carry the pleas
To the high throne of Thy Son,
So that we may see His mercy;
Perceive the greeting’s gentle tone:
Ave Maria! Ave Maria!
