Rigid body loosen, hush!
Some of the Children (jump up and hurry towards Hänsel and Gretel from all sides).
We thank, we thank you both!
The Children.
The spell is broke and we are free,
we'll sing and we'll dance and we'll shout for glee!
Come, children all, and form a ring,
join hands together while we sing.
Then sing and spring,
then dance and sing,
