Schubert wrote it for a scene in Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake, in German translation, where a character named Ellen Douglas prays to the Virgin. Her opening line happens to be those two words, so later somebody else fit the whole Latin prayer onto his tune. Nobody asked him. Two prayers share the melody now, and only one of them is Schubert's.
