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 flWww@QuestionHome@Com
