Dylan Perez and Mary Bevan - Hermit Songs, Op. 29: I. At Saint Patrick's Purgatory

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 eyeafter 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!
