One of my interests is Scotland, "especially" the (Scottish) Gaelic language and I am a student of that language. I am very interested also in "Old English" (Anglo-Saxon). I have been reading, and almost completed, The Faded Map: Lost Kingdoms of Scotland and ran across the following, which I sent to friends and have copied/pasted here.
Dream of the Rood
The poem is written in Anglo-Saxon, and here is a link to a video (in modern English) of the poem.

Another Christian verse I read of is Caedmon's hymn. Here it is, in Anglo-Saxon:

American by birth. Scottish by ancestors. Christian by the bluid of Iosa Criosd.
