It means sit around the virgin. "Yon" means "yonder" or in this context, could even be a traditional short form of the word "young". It's a reference to when Mary gave birth to Jesus. She was still a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus. Therefore, the song refers to gathering around the young virgin.
