Verse Early Saxon

: Nu sculon herigean      heofonrices weard,
meotodes meahte      and his modgeþanc,
weorc wuldorfæder,      swa he wundra gehwæs,
ece drihten,      or onstealde.
5: He ærest sceop      eorðan bearnum
heofon to hrofe,      halig scyppend;
þa middangeard      moncynnes weard,
ece drihten,      æfter teode
firum foldan,      frea ælmihtig.
