Jane Eyre movie - The Graveyard lyrics

rate me

YOUNG JANE

Helen, I have brought you a lily today

For the roses were frail

And the petals fell away

The morning mist has kissed your grave

Rest now in sleep

Our secrets will keep

Till we speak again tomorrow

When I lay myself down to sleep tonight

I pray I might

Know why God has tempered judgment

But with mercy

But with sorrow

JANE & YOUNG JANE

Let the world forsake me

Let them do their worst, I will

Withstand it all

They will not break me

BOTH JANES & ENSEMBLE

There is another world that watches us

I'm not afraid

The angels know when we have sinned

Or we have been betrayed

MISS SCRATCHERD

Jane Eyre!

YOUNG JANE

Yes, Miss Scratcherd.

MISS SCRATCHERD

Get to your class! You're late as usual.

YOUNG JANE

Yes, Miss.

MISS SCRATCHERD

Miserable little child!

JANE & ENSEMBLE

As I lay myself down to sleep tonight

I pray I might

Be granted strength to see

The spark of heaven's guiding light

JANE

My rebellion waits

The silent cry my spirit sings

Goes far beyond these gates

Oh, Helen, what awaits?
