Þā ealdan bogan þæs burggeates weorpaþ sceadwe ofer þone gebrycgodan weg, þǣr twā gehlæsted nīetenu, hira feax ābrōden and hira hōfas scearpe, standaþ unstille. Under þece stearcre mid līne hlinþ se drīfere forþ, handa stæþigende þā brīdelas. Strǣtdūst clifaþ on fealdum his tunecan and on þǣm byrstum besman þe wiþ þā marmstānenan stæpas gehende hlinþ. Sēo burg orþaþ bæftan him, menigu ebbende and flōwende, þā ǣrestan stefnas ǣrdæges gangende swā slāw flōd betwēonan swēorum and porticum. Ūtan þām geate streceþ sēo woruld, weg þe behāt cyme gif þæs wægnes brīdelas bēoþ mid cræfte and willan gemētte.
Gearwod tō færeldes, scēawaþ se wægnere þā scēafas æt his fōtum: hlāf, on linclāþe bewunden, and crocc mid cōlre clǣnnesse morgenwæteres. Þā nīetenu styriaþ, tredende þone heardan grund, hira orþung rīsend on wolcnum þe on clǣnre ǣrre lyfte tōlīesaþ. Begeondan, on orceardlandum, blōwiaþ mandeltrēow, blæda tōstencende tō gemētenne ōþre be wege. Ælc blæd is gemynd. Færeld is forþ, ac ēac gaderung þæs þe āfealleþ. Bufan is se heofon īdel and tōm, feld bīdende mearce fugla oþþe cumbola.
Spell ēacniaþ on getimbre þisses morgenes. Ealde cempan, sittende on hira rædwicum, bǣron tācn of gewefenre wulle, scildas beorhte mid calc of þām stāngrofe. On feorrnesse ārīsaþ hyrdas on hira cotum, fealdende cēse on clāþslingum tō þæs dæges gewinne, hira nīetenu styrigende on strēawe. Se cēap on burge heortan āwæcþ mid hwistre rīses āgotenes on binnas, and mid stillre hefignesse sealtclūda gestabelodra on setlum. Sēo lyft bereþ behāt, ælc þing on his stōwe, ælc styrenes gemet, swā sēo woruld sīe geworht tō forþgange þonne endebyrdnes biþ geheald.
Se wægnere orþaþ ūt, his mōd wendende tō steore forþganges. On his hāme healdeþ hē sāpes sticcan be þām bæþfæte, wendende hine on handum ǣr færeldes, se fām drīfende dūst and wērignesse āweg. Þis is þēaw, swā micel swā gearwung þāra nīetena oþþe se carfulla cnotta þāra brīdela. Bufan þǣre burge, on hēahum hyllum þǣr se wind scearp is, stent mynster, his belle hringende þurh mist. Þǣr ārīsaþ munecas tō gīemenne bōcfelllēaf hira gewrita, ælc scēat mid geþylde gedrēfed and ādrūgod, ælc morgen ongunnen mid swēpe hira ānfealdra besma.
Se dæg wierþ beorhtra, and se weg cīgþ. Ær man ūt fare, mæg man þone duruþerscold swēpan, clǣnsende þone pæþ þām dæge. Hīe magon cōl wæter on clǣn fæt gēotan, bīdende tō sūpenne ǣr þām weorce beforan. Hīe magon hira middægmet on nīwāþwegenum clāþe bewindan, oþþe līn sweotole tō færeldes cnottian. Þis sind stille gearwunga, geþēodende þæt þe æt handa is wiþ þæt þe tō cymanne is, stæþigende þæt mōd tō forþgange.
