My Darling Cosette;
I'm sorry that we're so far apart
I miss you so much my little one
I'm sorry you're all alone,
Are you okay?
Monsieur Mayor is a kind man,
and we will be together again
My darling child, the light grows dimmer,
And I'm sorry that I will not see you grow.
Into a lady which I know that someday you'll be.
My beautiful girl the angels call,
They sing and coax me gently.
And so my angel I must say good-bye,
But I will watch you from afar
One day we will be united once more,
At the gates of the Kingdom of God
Until then, Au Revoir,
I love you

Your loving Mother,
Fantine

Winter, 1823
