Caedmon Revisited

Sister Mary Faith Schuster, OSB
Now ought we to praise
the heavenly keeper.
The power of our God
and His moodthought.

First He made the heavens
as a roof
for the home of His children.
Then he made earth
as a path for the feet of his people.

Then He made duty
and the song of the birds
in the morning.

Then He made resurrection.
Amen.

Caedmon - 1st English poet whose name we know. 657 AD
