Ensemble

In the light of the virgin evening...

I'd been gone for a month or so

But how long am I now to stay?

Where am I to go?

It is not to my house I travel

I do not have a home at all

For the master is soon to marry

And he does not think of me

Or know my grief

I might even feel relief

If he would take his wedding vow

So he could discover

He does not really love her

And he could feel the heartbreak I do now

Rochester

Jane, what a night!

Sweet summer air,

Have you grown attached to living here,

And that foolish child, Adele?

Jane

She is not so foolish

Rochester

You've been treated kindly here?

Jane

I would not deny it.

Rochester

Jane, what a shame

That you must move on.

Jane

Well, you said yourself

When I am wed

You will move away from here,

And I see it's wisdom.

Jane

Then it's true, sir,

You're to marry?

Rochester

Yes, that's right. Precisely.

Jane

Are you glad, sir? Are you happy?

Rochester

It will do quite nicely, Jane,

When you're gone.

Jane

I'll make arrangements...

Rochester

I'll miss our walks.

Jane

...For my employment.

Rochester

No, leave that to me,

I have a place

That I think will suit you, Jane,

The five daughters of Mrs. Dionysius O'Gall. They need a governess at Bitternut Lodge, in Connaught, Ireland.

Jane

Such a distance, why so far, sir?

Rochester

Oh,does that perturb you?

Jane

It's a long way

Rochester

Well, from what, Jane?

Why should that disturb you?

Jane, we've been friends...

Jane

It's getting late, sir.

Rochester

...And we've grown close.

Jane

I must go in, sir.

Rochester

Jane, is that a tear in your eye?

Jane

Yes, it is, and I cry because the pain

Because the grief

Is slowly turning to rage

I'm like a bird upon the brief

Who wishes she were never born into this cage

I know you think because I'm plain

That I feel nothing inside

If I were rich, if I were beautiful...

...then I should think I would make it as hard for you to leave me as it is for me to leave you. I love Thornfield and I grieve to leave it, for here I have talked, face to face, with what I reverence, what I delight in-with a vigourous and expanded mine- but I see the necissity of departure and it is like looking on the necessity of death.

Rochester

Where do you see this necessity?

Jane

In the shape of your bride.

Rochester

Jane, there is place for you

And Jane, it is here with me

To live in this house

To stand as my wife

Jane

What do you mean?

Rochester

Jane, you are my second self

Jane, don't you see the truth

That you are the heart of my life?

Jane

And what of Blanche Ingram?

Rochester

Janet...

I caused a rumour that my wealth

Wasn't half of my first claim

And Blanche Ingram, bless her heart

Took the bait, and not my name

I would not...I could not marry Blance Ingram, because my equal is here, and my likeness.

Jane

Then why did you make me believe you loved her?

Rochester

To make you jealous.

Jane

Why?

Rochester

Jane, to make you as in love with me

As I am in love with you,

Be my wife.

Say my name!

Jane

Edward...

Rochester

Will you marry me, Jane Eyre?

You mean more to me than life

What's your answer?,br> Tell me now!

Do you consent to be my wife?

God forgive me, you are not getting away from me!

If I had a string under my ribs

Knotted to you, connecting our frames

I'd be afraid that many a mile

Would sever the tie

And I would take to bleeding inwardly

Are you my savior, are you my saint

Protecting my soul

With communion and light?

Stand as my equal, be my reward

Slay custom and code

With love as your sword

Childish, slender creature

My hope of heaven lies

Inside your eyes

I hear you cherished voice

Across the moorland skies

Your youth and spirit fly us up to heaven

Open my window, drink from my well

Shower my bliss with your apricot smell

Are you an eagle, coming to nest

Or a swift, on the wing, with no need to rest?

Childish, slender creature

My hope of heaven lies

Inside your precious eyes

The flower of your heart

It blooms and never dies

Will I not guard and cherish you

As long as I shall live?

Will I not sanction you

With all the love my heart can give?

And I wash my hands

Of every youthful crime

Defy them all

God will give me time

And you will lead me, blind

Jane

Yes, sir. I will marry you.

Rochester

Childish slender creature

My hope of heaven lies

Inside your precious eyes

I hear you cherished voice

Across the moorland skies

Your youth and spirit fl
