What are the words to the poem that Ophelia tells to her unborn brother at bedtime in the movie Pans Labyrinth?

Answer 1

"My brother, my brother...... A long, long time ago in a grey, sad country.... There was a magic rose that made whoever plucked it immortal.

But no one would dare go near it because its thorns were full of mortal poison. So amongst the men tales of pain and death were told in hushed voices. But there was no talk of eternal life . . . because men fear pain more than they want immortality.

So every day the rose wilted, unable to bequeath its gift to anyone. Alone and forgotten at the top of that mountain. Forgotten until the end of time."

Answer 2

The poem that Ophelia recites to her unborn brother in the movie Pan's Labyrinth is as follows:

"Come little child, come to me / For I am lonely and cold / Come little child, come to me / For I am waiting for you."
