CAEDMON'S HYMN by CAEDMON

Poet Analysis

First Line: NOW SHALL WE PRAISE THE PRINCE OF HEAVEN
Last Line: AS A HOME FOR MAN, THE ALMIGHTY LORD.
Subject(s): GOD;
Now shall we praise the Prince of Heaven,
The might of the Maker and his manifold thought,
The work of the Father: of what wonders he wrought,
The Lord everlasting when he laid out the worlds.
He first raised up for the race of men
The heaven as a roof, the holy Ruler.
Then the world below, the Ward of mankind,
The Lord everlasting, at last established
As a home for man, the Almighty Lord.
