AVA! MARIA!


Ave! Marie!
Mother-maid pitiful
Sister of sorrows
         And daughter of men
Ave! Marie!
Mother of Miracles
Mercy made Wonderful
To thy breast Bountiful
Gather the Sorrowful
         Daughter of Sin
Ave! Marie!
Ave! Marie!
         Gather them in!

Written by W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963)
