Franz Schubert actually wrote the music for an excerpt from the poem 'The Lady of the Lake' by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), which was translated into German by Adam Storck. Schubert called his piece Ellens dritter Gesang (Ellen's third song). In this particular excerpt from the poem the heroine, Ellen Douglas, is in hiding and prays to the Virgin Mary. A letter from Schubert to his father and step-mother refers to his music of Ave Maria: 'My new songs from Scott's Lady of the Lake especially had much success.
They also wondered greatly at my piety, which I expressed in a hymn to the Holy Virgin and which, it appears, grips every soul and turns it to devotion.'

Ave Maria Schubert Lyrics Latin
Ave Maria Lyrics Ave Maria! Listen to a maiden's prayer! Thou canst hear though from the wild, Thou canst save amid despair. Safe may we sleep beneath thy care, Though banish'd, outcast and reviled - Maiden!
Hear a maiden's prayer; Mother, hear a suppliant child! The flinty couch we now must share Shall seem this down of eider piled, If thy protection hover there.
The murky cavern's heavy air Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled; Then, Maiden! Hear a maiden's prayer; Mother, list a suppliant child! Stainless styled! Foul demons of the earth and air, From this their wonted haunt exiled, Shall flee before thy presence fair. We bow us to our lot of care, Beneath thy guidance reconciled; Hear for a maid a maiden's prayer, And for a father hear a child!

The Ave Maria is also used in the Greek Orthodox and Lutheran churches. So it's safe to say that it's recognized pretty much everywhere throughout the Christian world. The text is historically divided into two parts, with the third part being added later. The first part is based on Luke 1:28 which recounts the Angel Gabriel greeting the Blessed Virgin Mary on the day of the Annunciation. This is when the Angel tells Mary that she will be overcome by the Holy Spirit and bear a son. The middle section is based on Luke 1:40-42 and recounts St. Elizabeth greeting Mary.
Mary, now pregnant, has gone to visit her relative Elizabeth who's also pregnant. When Elizabeth hears Mary's greeting, the baby in her own womb (who will be John the Baptist) leaps for joy. Elizabeth tells Mary that she is blessed, as is the child she is carrying (who will be Jesus Christ).
A final portion was added around 1440. It identifies Mary's holiness and adds a petition for intercession. Translation Ave Maria was originally in Latin, but here is the English translation: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
