Æt ecge āwæccunge rǣcaþ þǣre carte hīw ūp, ac se lyft is stille. Gif sēo bȳme geblāwen hæfþ, sind hire swēgas gedīefde mid nīþerhangendum wolcnum, stilnes þe on þā ceaster sett ǣr rēgne. Se dæg nis sweotol, and þā weggedālas fore wuniaþ ungewisse. Se dōm ymbhangaþ, ungedōn, bīdende on þām ābīde betwēonan ānum ǣþme and þām nīehstan.
On þissum ābīde færþ se mōd tō mōrum Engla landes, þǣr ealde stānas riht standaþ on feldum, bewrogene mid morgenmiste. Hyrdas treddaþ þā wegas betwēonan him, scōs geclāmde mid þǣre ilcan eorþan þe gearhund swīgendra smēagunga gewiten hæfþ. Se heofon bufan strecþ wīd and unmǣled. Hwǣr feorr hringþ belle tō þēnunge þe onginnþ ac ne geendaþ. Sēo gesomnung bītt, handa gefealde, ungewiss hwæþer hīe arīsan sceolon oþþe sittan wunian.
Innan þām hāme is se cycenbēod ār, ceald tō hrīnenne, unglenced. Cytel rest bufan, his andwlite ādwæsced of gearum brȳces. Hit is þære cynne fæt þe morgen æfter morgen gewærmed biþ, and þēah wuniaþ þā tēleaf drȳge tōdæg, þæt wæter ungewylled. Hwīlum is se andswaru ānfeald þeaw ylded: se hlāf lǣfed on þām bēode, se cnīf be him, se morgenmēl gȳt ungesamnod. Se mōd wendþ and wendþ, ymbgǣnde mægþa, þā hwīle þe se līchama stille sitt.
On ceastrum glintaþ þā stānstrǣta æfter nihtlicum rēgne. Ealde scēatas, heora andwlitan unāhrinene mid mētunge siþþan þām cræftdagum, rīsaþ be lanum þǣr wyrhtan hwīlum byrþenna bǣron of dægrēde oþ ǣfen. Heora hacelas, geworhte of þiccre wulle, hangaþ on hōcum behindan durum, gehefegode mid stence rēgnes and smocan. Þǣr ābītt bōcere ofer opene gerēafan, græf stæf āhafen, rīm unāfandod. Se weorcdæg is āhangen on tīde ungewissum dōmes.
On þām lande, under scyldendum heofonum, weaxeþ se līcen þicce on rinde bēces. Þā scēap gersiaþ stillulīce, flīes unmǣled, gemenged mid þām stānweallum þe hīe inne healdaþ. Wegfarend ābītt æt weggedāle, scōs bestēdde of þām gange, ungewiss hwelc weg tō þǣre tūne lǣdþ, hwelc tō þām hyllum. Se tācnstocc is wederbiten, se stæf ādwæsced, and se willa forþ tō farenne biþ gemētt mid frōfre tō wunienne þǣr man stent.
Spell and gemynd gaderiaþ þǣr gemǣru āblendaþ. On sagum norþerlanda bītt se wulf on healfum lēohte ǣr dægrēde, fēt gedrēfde on gefroren gærs, ēagan onscīnende stilnesse worulde gefangenne betwēonan nihte and dæge. Dōmas hēr cumaþ slāwe, and se heap bītt tācnes þe tīdum feorr bēon mæge. On worulde cræftes lǣt se smiþ ār cōlian on þām anfilte, nā hrȳpende þone nīehstan slege. Asce sett on þone heorþ, stillu and þurhwunigende.
Þā se dæg ontȳnþ, mæg mann settan on þone setl be þām ēagþȳrele and wrītan ǣrendgewrit nǣfre āsended, oþþe gān under nīþerum wolcnum, and lǣtan fōtlastas feallan būtan rihte. Se īsenen tēcitel, lǣfed of giestrandæge, mæg bēon gefylled and gesett tō wellenne, his hwistle līþe clypung. Oþþe, nimende smælne stān of wyrtūnpæþe, mæg mann healdan hine on þǣre folme, and gefrēdan his hefignesse swā behāt þæt dōm tōdæg ne þearf bēon gedōn.
