Answer: The "miracle" in Bede's "Caedmon's Hymn" is that Caedmon gets the gift of song and poetry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, Cædmon's Hymn is a short poem composed by Cædmon, an illiterate cow-herder.

The "miracle" in Bede's "Caedmon's Hymn" is that Caedmon gets the gift of song and poetry. Cædmon was able to sing in honour of God the Creator, using words that he had never heard before.

It was composed between 658 and 680 and is the oldest recorded Old English poem, and was designed to be sung from memory and was later preserved in written form by others
