Virginia Lyrics by Thomas Adès
Red river, red river
Slow flow heat is silence

Red river, red river
Slow flow heat is silence
Children’s voices in the orchard
Golden head, crimson head
Do not suddenly break the branch, or
Hope to find
Here the crow starves, here the patient stag
Breeds for the rifle. Between the soft moor
O quick quick quick, quick hear the song-sparrow
Swamp-sparrow, fox-sparrow, vesper-sparrow
