Joly: Theres a man climbing the barricade!
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 the letter like you said.
Met her father at the door.
He said he would give it… (she collapses in his arms)
Don’t think I can stand anymore.
Marius: Eponine whats wrong, I feel…
there’s something wet upon your hair… (there is blood on his hand)
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 close 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 passed
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…
Eponine: Marius:
So don’t you fret Hushabye
M’sieur Marius Dear Eponine
I don’t feel any pain You won’t feel any pain
A little fall of rain A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now Can hardly hurt you now
Marius:
I’m here
Eponine:
That’s all I need to know
Eponine: Marius:
And you will keep me safe I will stay with you
And you will keep me close ‘Til you are sleeping…
Eponine:
And rain
Marius:
And rain
Eponine:
Will make the flowers… (she dies)
Marius:
Will make the flowers……. grow
(He kisses her and holds her close.)
