[Fantine is lying in a hospital bed, delirious]
Fantine: Cosette, it's turned so cold
Cosette, it's past your bed time!
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.
[Jean Valjean enters]
Jean Valjean: Oh, Fantine, our time is running out
But, Fantine, I swear this on my life.
Fantine: Look M'sieur, where all the children play.
Jean Valjean: Be at peace, be at peace evermore.
Fantine: My Cosette...
Jean Valjean: Shall live in my protection.
Fantine: Take her now.
Jean Valjean: Your child will want for nothing.
Fantine: Good M'sieur, you come from God in heaven.
Jean Valjean: And none will ever harm Cosette
As long as I am living.
Fantine: Take my hand
The night grows ever colder.
Jean Valjean: Then I will keep you warm.
Fantine: Take my child
I give her to your keeping.
Jean Valjean: Take shelter from the storm.
Fantine: For God's sake, please stay till I am sleeping
And tell Cosette I love her
And I'll see her when I wake...
[She dies with a smile. Javert arrives]
