Lyrics Hermit Songs Op.29: 1. At Saint Patrick's Purgatory - Samuel Barber , Cheryl Studer



Pity me on my pilgrimage to Loch Derg!
O King of the churches and the bells
Bewailing your sores and your wounds,
But not a tear can I squeeze from my eyes!
Not moisten an eye
After so much sin!
Pity me, O King! What shall I do
With a heart that seeks only its own ease?
O only begotten Son by whom all men were made,
Who shunned not the death by three wounds,
Pity me on my pilgrimage to Loch Derg
And I with a heart not softer than a stone!
