Our translations: ENG
Ein Mädchen — Ave Maria — liebt wie der bleiche Mond was über allen Wolken im Schoß der Ruhe wohnt. Die Liebe will ihr Opfer und spricht das Mädchen an: Sie hat — Gratia plena — den Schleier angetan. Im Schleier ist die Liebe — Ora pro nobis — tot! Ihr Mädchen, traut dem Mond nicht, der euch zu ruhn gebot!
