Samuel Barber - The Virgin Martyrs lyrics

Therefore come they, the crowding maidens Gertrude, Agnes, Prisca, Cecily Lucy, Thekla, Juliana, Barbara Agatha, Petronel, and other maids Whose names I have read not and now record not But their souls and their faith were maimed not Worthy now of God's company Wndr'ing through the fresh fields go they Gath'ring flow'rs to make them a nosegay Gath'ring roses red for the Passion Lilies and violets for love
