Poor Sister Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast

MASON
My dear, 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

JANE
Mr. Mason?

MASON
Miss Eyre!

JANE
What happened here?

MASON
She set the flame
Although no one knows why
Poor sister
Then jumped to her death
For she thought she could fly!
Sweet sister

Edward saved everyone else who was there
But got out too late for himself
I declare what happened to him
Well, it just isn't fair
Poor Edward

JANE
God have mercy!

MASON
He's still alive
But the dear man is blind

JANE
Dear master...

MASON
And crippled in body
If not in his mind
Poor sister
