be at peace

Fantine's death scene

"Cosette, it's turned so cold.
Cosette, it's past your bedtime.
You've played the day away,
And soon it will be night."

Fantine's death scene

"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."

Fantine's death scene

"Hurry near, another day is dying.
Don't you hear, the winter wind is crying?"

Fantine's death scene

"There's a darkness which comes without a warning...
But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning."

Fantine's death scene

"Look, M'sieur, where all the children play.
Good M'sieur, you come from God in Heaven."

Fantine's death scene

"Take my child. I give her to your keeping."

Fantine's death scene

"And none shall ever harm Cosette
As long as I am living."


Fantine's death scene

"Take my hand. The night grows ever colder.
For God's sake, please stay till I am sleeping."

Fantine's death scene

"And tell Cosette I love her,
And I'll see her when I wake...."
