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)
