BROCKLEHURST   Form classes! Silence! Order!       SCHOOLGIRLS   We are the children of God   And we praise His word   We are blind in His love   In His love we will trust   For we are taught that we must       MISS SCATCHERD   Girls, don't slouch, keep in line   Or my nerves will snap   Do not whisper or breathe   Or I'll show you the strap       SCHOOLGIRLS   Oh, grateful we are for our daily bread   Oh, if only just once it could be instead   Sweet cakes and cottage pie   Food we could identify       BROCKLEHURST   I have a word to address to the students,   Here is a girl who is new to our school,   Her name is Jane Eyre,    and she is brought here by her excellent benefactress, Mrs. Reed       MRS. REED   I should wish her to be brought up in a manner suiting her prospects -    to be made useful - to be kept humble.   We must punish the flesh   She's prone to deceit   I would caution you not to be   Fooled by her lies       BROCKLEHURST   Deceit is a cardinal sin       MRS. REED   She knows not the danger she's in       BROCKLEHURST   These are the children of God   She will quickly learn   That a child deceitful Forever shall burn       MR. BROCKLEHURST   Disciplines are bornTo be humble and suffer   Punish the flesh to chasten the spirit   Purity comes from the pain of correction   The torment of martyrsIs holy and Christian   Starving the body will never extinguish the soul!       SCHOOLGIRLS   We are the children of God   And we praise His word   We are blind in His loveIn His love we must trust   For we are taught that we must   We are the children of God   But we find it queerIf we're really His childrenWhy isn't He here?       MRS. REED   Let this teach you!   Let this teach you! Wicked child!   Horrid wretched child! God despises you!      MISS SCATCHERD   She is depraved   The girl will be watched, sir   Every hourStand very still   All eyes will be watching   Watching a shameful child   Blind in his love   We're charity children   No mother or fatherJust heavenly care   God blesses our soulsAnd yet we despair
