Ave Maria! Meer und Himmel ruh'n
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. O heil'ge Andacht, welche jedes Herz Mit leisen Schauern wunderbar durchdringt! O [sel'ger]1 Glaube, der sich himmelwärts Auf des Gebetes weißem Fittig schwingt! In milde Tränen [löst sich da]2 der Schmerz, Indes der Freude Jubel sanfter klingt. [ Ave Maria! Wenn die Glocke tönet, So lächeln Erd' und Himmel mild versöhnet.]3
C. Schumann sets stanza 1

Vespro a Venezia
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. O sacro raccoglimento, che ogni cuore meravigliosamente pervade con fremiti leggeri! O beata Fede, che verso il Cielo fluttua sulla bianca ala della preghiera! In dolci lacrime si scioglie dunque il dolore, allorché il giubilo si fa più delicato. Ave Maria! Quando la campana risuona, sorridono Cielo e Terra, dolcemente riconciliati.
