Song by Enjolras, The Stude<br /><br>

(Enjolras is addressing the revolutionaries)<br>

<br>

ENJOLRAS<br>

Here upon these stones<br>

We will build our barricade<br>

In the heart of the city<br>

We claim as our own!<br>

Each man to his duty<br>

And don't be afraid.<br>

Wait! I will need a report<br>

On the strength of the foe.<br>

<br>

JAVERT(disguised as a rebel)<br>

I can find out the truth<br>

I know their ways<br>

Fought their wars<br>

Served my time<br>

In the days<br>

Of my youth.<br>

<br>

PROUVAIRE<br>

Now the people will fight<br>

<br>

GRANTAIRE<br>

And so they might<br>

Dogs will bark<br>

Fleas will bite.<br>

<br>

LESGLES<br>

They will do what is right!<br>

<br>

(Marius spots Eponine, who is dressed as a boy)<br>

<br>

MARIUS<br>

Hey, little boy, what's this I see?<br>

God, Eponine, the things you do!<br>

<br>

EPONINE<br>

I know this is no place for me,<br>

Still, I would rather be with you! <br>

<br>

MARIUS<br>

Get out before the trouble starts.<br>

Get out, 'Ponine, you might get shot!<br>

<br>

EPONINE<br>

I've got you worried now, I have<br>

That shows you like me quite a lot! <br>

<br>

MARIUS<br>

There is a way that you can help<br>

You are the answer to a prayer!<br>

Please take this letter to Cosette<br>

And pray to God that she's still there! <br>

<br>

EPONINE<br>

Little you know!<br>

Little you care!<br>

<br>

(She walks to the Rue Plumet, where she meets Valjean)<br>

<br>

EPONINE<br>

I have a letter M'sieur<br>

It's addressed to your daughter, Cosette<br>

It's from a boy at the barricade, Sir,<br>

In the Rue de Villette.<br>

<br>

VALJEAN<br>

Give me that letter here, my boy.<br>

<br>

EPONINE<br>

He said to give it to Cosette<br>

<br>

VALJEAN<br>

You have my word that my daughter will know <br>

What this letter contains.<br>

<br>

(He gives her a coin)<br>

<br>

Tell the young man she will read it tomorrow<br>

And here's for your pains<br>

Go careful now, stay out of sight<br>

There's danger in the streets tonight.<br>

<br>

(He opens the letter... and reads it)<br>

<br>

"Dearest Cosette, you have entered my soul<br>

And soon you will be gone.<br>

Can it be only a day since we met<br>

And the world was reborn?<br>

If I should fall in the battle to come<br>

Let this be my goodbye...<br>

Now that I know you love me as well<br>

It is harder to die...<br>

I pray that god will bring me home<br>

To be with you.<br>

Pray for your Marius. He prays for you!" <br>

<br>

(Valjean goes in, leaving Eponine alone)<br>
