When I got up this morning

there was no Heorot, and Hroðgár was still not even a twinkle in his father's eye. By the time I got to work, the warriors of the Danish court were celebrating the son of Ecgthéow, praising his strength and the day he was born.

I am incredibly moved by this old poem and impressed with Heaney.
