It's important to note that "Old English" is a specific language that was spoken in England from roughly the 5th to the 12th centuries. It's distinct from "Middle English," which came after the Norman Conquest, and "Modern English," which is what we speak today.
Some famous examples of Old English poetry include:
* Beowulf: The most famous Old English poem, an epic story of a hero's battles with monsters.
* The Wanderer: A poem expressing the sorrow of a man exiled from his homeland.
* The Battle of Maldon: A poem about a real historical event, the Battle of Maldon.
These poems were typically composed in a complex, alliterative verse form, and often drew on themes of heroism, loyalty, and fate.
