| Hail Mary full of grace the Angel saith | B |
| Our Lady bows her head and is ashamed | C |
| She has a Bridegroom Who may not be named | C |
| Her mortal flesh bears Him Who conquers death | B |
| Now in the dust her spirit grovelleth | B |
| Too bright a Sun before her eyes has flamed | C |
| Too fair a herald joy too high proclaimed | C |
| And human lips have trembled in God's breath | B |

| O Mother Maid thou art ashamed to cover | D |
| With thy white self whereon no stain can be | E |
| Thy God Who came from Heaven to be thy Lover | D |
| Thy God Who came from Heaven to dwell in thee | E |
| About thy head celestial legions hover | D |
| Chanting the praise of thy humility | E |
