Hansel and Gretel is an opera by nineteenth-century composer Engelbert Humperdinck, based on the Grimm brothers' fairy tale .
Hänsel and Gretel are hungry and lost in the woods. Darkness has fallen and they have just been visited by the sandman who has made them very tired. Before they fall asleep they say an evening prayer, asking for protection during the night.
When at night I go to sleep
Fourteen angels watch do keep Two my head are guarding Two my feet are guiding Two are on my right hand Two are on my left hand Two who warmly cover Two who o’er me hover Two to whom ’tis given To guide my steps to heaven
