Crist is a poem by the medieval poet Cynewulf, written in Anglo-Saxon.


Together with Beowulf it is one of the primary examples of Anglo-Saxon literature.


The poem was one of the inspirations for J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth - Earendel becoming Eärendil.


Excerpt

 Éala Éarendel / Engla Beorhtast Ofer Middangeard / Monnum sended, Ond sóðfæsta / Sunnan léoma, Torht ofer tunglas / þú tida gehƿanes Of sylfum / þé symle inlíhtes. 

Translation into Modern English:

 Hail, Earendel / Brightest of angels, Above the Middle-earth / Sent unto men And true / Radiance of the sun Bright above the stars / Thou every season Of thy very self / Illuminest for ever.
