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
 
 That's all I need to know
 And you will keep me safe
 And you will keep me close
 
 MARIUS(in counterpoint)
 Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine,
 You won't feel any pain
 A little fall of rain
 Can hardly hurt you now
 I'm here
 
 I will stay with you
 Till you are sleeping
 
 EPONINE 
 And rain...
 
 MARIUS 
 And rain... 
 
 EPONINE
 Will make the flowers...
 
 MARIUS 
 Will make the flowers... grow... 
 
 (She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground)
 
 ENJOLRAS
 She is the first to fall
 The first of us to fall upon this barricade
 
 MARIUS
 Her name was Eponine
 Her life was cold and dark, yet she was unafraid.
 
 COMBEFERRE
 We fight here in her name
 
 PROUVAIRE
 She will not die in vain.
 
 LESGLES
 She will not be betrayed. 
 
 (They carry her body off)
