Se engel gȳt wæter of ānum calice on ōþerne, ac se wǣta misseþ, and fealleþ tō eorþan. Se carfulla flōw is forloren. Gemeten hand bifiaþ, and þæt þe sceolde gemengan gaderaþ instæpe on sunwearmum lāme. On ryne and oferflōwe þæs līfes cunnunga tō sibbe slīdeþ gemetnes, and se grund sūcþ þæt þe nǣfre his stōwe ne funde. Betwēonan stānum ealdra ēastrēama gaderaþ sād, ūp āþwegen mid gystrandæges rēnum. Þā oferas, hwīlum tīdlīce tōdǣlde, āblǣndaþ swā þæt wæter oferflēowþ, sūcende on þā eorþan, macigende fen þǣr drȳge dūst hwīlum læg.
Twēo æt wega geþēodnesse mæg fōtlāstas on þām lāme lǣfan, hnesce and gēafle, þǣr scōs lȳtle dēopor sūcaþ æfter scūre. Āwend fūr feldes, wǣt æfter lenctenes ǣrestan þunorrēne, ætīewþ hū ēaþe mearca gewītaþ. Þǣr se sulh wiþerweardnesse mētte, clifiaþ ealde wyrttruman tō gemynde, and sǣd of feorrum hyllum geboren slāpaþ on stilnesse under þǣre brāde. Eorþland, lange mid handa and mid horse geworht, sægþ spell on līnum betwēonan wæstmum, þǣr lāfa gystrandæges hærfestes forrotiaþ, fēdende þone nīwan, and se ymbhweorft nāþer hræd ne līþe.
Of spellum þǣre ealdan worulde fōron wōrige munecas hwīlum stille weg, hira swīþan þynne, hira cyrtlas gebētte, berende mid him hlāf on wudufȳre ofne bacenne, rinde rūhe and þicce, þæt inneweard wearm and healdend. Se hlāf, gebrocen and gemǣne on þæs mynstres gehrorenum bēodum, stent for geþylde and langum weorce, ac þonne hē fealleþ, hē tōbrȳt, cruman tōstencende on þæs flōres cīnum. On þām cicene grint mortere and pilestocc, smēþe mid gēarum brūces, drȳge wyrtcoddas tō dūste, se stenc rīsend swā se þrycc hwerfeþ. Hēr giefaþ þæt slāwe and þæt stæþige stōwe ānes hwīles slīde, and manigra handa weorc tōstent, and þearf tō bēonne gegaderod and eft ongunnen.
Begeondan þām cicene, æt orceardes ecge, feallaþ cystel on lætes hærfestes winde. Hira scella, scīnende and heard, hweorfaþ þurh gefallenu lēaf and restaþ on þām leafsceate under þām trēowum. Ācweornas, bisige mid hira āgenum gewinne, bebyrgiaþ hīe on dīeglum hordum, oft tō bēonne forgietene, and behāt nīwra plantena on þēostrum lǣten. On tūnpæþe hlinþ hyrdes stæf, mid tīde and wedere gepolierod, wiþ hegstaf þā hwīle þe se heord styreþ, hōfas þā eorþan þringende, gærs cyrnende mid þǣre hnescan anbīdunge dæghwāmlīces līfes. On þām berne swēopþ besma of twigum þone þerscold, gaderiende dūst and dweliende sceard strēawes, clǣnsende rūm tō morgenes hāmcyme.
On bīdunge æfter storme streciaþ eorþfeld under heofone gȳt hefigum mid gemynde. Feorr þunor ādrēogaþ, and sēo lyft stincþ swā eorþe hīe selfe wende, swā sēo woruld ūs gemyndgie þæt nāht ne wunaþ geheald on ēcnesse. Se slīde wæteres of þām calice nis nā lyre, ac lāþung: tō ongietenne hwǣr þing gaderiaþ, hwǣr hīe restaþ and setlaþ æfter hrēame. On willan tō cnēowienne and tō settanne, tō dǣlenne hlāf, tō swēpenne þone flōr, tō gānne stille be unstryddum wege, onginnþ emnet, siþþan hit hielde, his slāwan eftcyme.
Tōdæg mæg mann hlāf bacan mid āgenum handum, dāh cnēdende on trēowenum brede. Hīe magon þone ingang swēpan, gaderiende þæt þe ūtan inn drāf. Hīe magon cystel oþþe sǣd under trēowe gaderian, and hira handa brād tō eorþan drȳfan, gefrēdende hū hēo giefþ and healdeþ on wrixle.
