Now must we praise the Warden of Heaven's realm The Creator's might and his mind's thought, The glorious works of the Father; How of every wonder He, the Lord, the eternal, laid the foundation. He shaped erst, for the sons of men, Heaven as their roof, Holy Creator, The middle-world, He mankind's Warden, Eternal Lord, afterwards prepared The earth for men, Lord Almighty.   (Caedmon  Seventh Century)
