I'm beginning to truly appreciate Old English poetry, and this was a fantastic reading. Very, very beautiful.

Hi there, I recently wrote a blog post about "Caedmon's Hymn", and linked this video because I loved your presentation of the poem--hope you don't mind! I can't seem to insert the link to the post in the comments here, but there's a link on my profile, and if you'd prefer I take down your video, please let me know.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

@sxylin By all means, please do embed the video on your site. I appreciate it--and so glad the video has been useful! Thanks for watching.

@sxylin --and--pleased to meet you, Samantha!

Brilliant work! Good pronunciation and expression; apt setting. Excuse my ignorance, but was that the Northumbrian or the West Saxon version?

[mystanzachannel]

@Thylacine1949 I was aiming more for the Northumbrian! Thanks for watching!

Very good. Old English is such a wonderful language.

@mystanzachannel Thank you very much for your permission--that's very kind of you! I'm afraid I'm not much of a YouTuber, but I'll be sure to keep a look out for your videos! :)

Had to recite this for an English class and found listening to you say it very helpful, replayed a good 100 times or so heh.
