Marius
Good God! What are you doing?
'Ponine! Have you no fear?
Have you seen my beloved?
Why have you come back here?
Eponine
Took your letter like you said
I met her father at the door
He said he would give it
(She collapses in his arms)
I don't think I can stand anymore.
Marius
Eponine, what's wrong? I feel
There's something wet upon your hair...
(There is blood on his hands)
Eponine, you're hurt!
You need some help. Oh God,
It's everywhere! |

Eponine
Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now.
You're here, that's all I need to know.
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow.
Marius
But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above,
If I could heal your wounds with words of love...
Eponine
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort me.
Marius
You would live
A hundred years
If I could show you how
I won't desert you now...
Eponine
The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close.
I'll sleep in your embrace at last
The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed.
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest.
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far. So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now. |
