Hear a maiden's plea

From this rock rigid and wild

My prayer shall waft to you

We'll sleep safely till morning

Though people are still so cruel

O virgin, see the maiden's sorrows

O mother, hear a pleading child!

When we sink down on this rock

To sleep, and your protection covers us

The hard rock will seem soft to us

You smile, rose scents waft

In this musty rocky cleft

O mother, hear a child's pleas

O virgin, a maiden calls!

Demons of earth and air

Are driven off by your eye's grace

They can't dwell here with us

We'll quietly bow to fate

Since your holy comfort breathes on us

Be gracious, incline yourself to the maiden

To the child who pleads for the father
