Jane Eyre movie - In the Light of the Virgin Morning lyrics

rate me

BLANCHE

In the light of the virgin morning

I look out on a misty haze

The estate has an ancient beauty

Mother must appraise

As I stroll through the pinks and roses

As I savour the columbine

I am grateful for all he is

And what will one day all be mine

The perfect plan

If only I could love the man

But I'm not quite sure I can

JANE

In the light of the virgin morning

In the shade of the chestnut tree

If I leave this unhappy bliss

Where will my Eden be?

For I'll miss this enchanted garden

Watching leaves as they turn to brown

BLANCHE

We will sell the estate, of course

And we will move to town

JANE

This is my fate, what more do I deserve?

I mustn't stay, what purpose would it serve?

He doesn't need me, his heart is blinded

Where will I go? What star will light my way?

This is my home, oh God above I pray

The rock of ages will show me mercy

In the light of the virgin morning

I am cursed in my hope of heaven

For I know I will always love him

BLANCHE (with Jane above)

We'll be admired and praised

I'll know what happiness is

When I am his

I'll be the star in his night

And I will shine as a bride

By his side

In the light of the virgin morning

I am blessed in my hope of heaven

For I know I will come to love him
