be at peace
"Cosette, it's turned so cold.
Cosette, it's past your bedtime.
You've played the day away,
And soon it will be night."
"Come to me, Cosette, the light is fading.
Don't you see the evening star appearing?
Come to me, and rest against my shoulder.
How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder."
"Hurry near, another day is dying.
Don't you hear, the winter wind is crying?"
"There's a darkness which comes without a warning...
But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning."
"Look, M'sieur, where all the children play.
Good M'sieur, you come from God in Heaven."
"Take my child. I give her to your keeping."
"And none shall ever harm Cosette
As long as I am living."
"Take my hand. The night grows ever colder.
For God's sake, please stay till I am sleeping."
"And tell Cosette I love her,
And I'll see her when I wake...."
