==Schubert's setting==
The words are often sung to a musical setting by [[Franz Schubert]]. Curiously, although his original song was inspired by his devotion, it was not entitled ''[[Ave Maria]],'' but ''Ellens dritter Gesang'' (Ellen's third song), and was a setting for a German translation of a portion ''The Lady of the Lake,'' a long poem by [[Sir Walter Scott]]. In the original, Scott's heroine is praying to the Virgin Mary, and opens her plea with the phrase "Ave Maria," but continues in her own words:
Ave Maria! maiden mild!<br>
Listen to a maiden's prayer!<br>
Thou canst hear though from the wild,<br>
Thou canst save amid despair.<ref>[http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext02/llake10.txt The Lady of the Lake], Project Gutenberg etext</ref><br>
