Center content in a absolute positioned div

Question

I have an absolutly positioned element with content inside. It can be a <h1> or a few <p> tag. So I don't know the height of the content.

How can I vertically center the content inside the absolutly positioned div?

HTML :

<div id="absolute">
    <div class="centerd">
    <h1>helo</h1>
    <span>hi again</span>
    </div>
</div>   

CSS :

#absolute {
    position:absolute;
    top:10px;
    left:10px;
    width:50%;
    height:50%;
    background:yellow;
}

.centerd {
    display:table-cell;
    vertical-align:middle;
}
