Se wyrtūn æt ecge þæs feldes stent swā sēo Cwēn hwīlum dyde, earmas ātogene, ac nū is hire cyrtel tōsliten mid stelum gēares þe ǣr wæs. Ǣr bēagon æppla þā bōgas, and se grund wæs bestōwen mid hnescre stilnesse gefallenes wæstmes. Nū rīst hege hrīoda and gewundendra wēoda on heora stōwe. Þistlas þȳrlaþ þone mēos, and nimaþ wilde hyrnas þær handa heora begīmenne forlēton. Se wyrtūnhege sāgþ. Endehærfestes wind þrycþ wiþ hine, and hwistleþ be ræglum þe hwīlum fæste wǣron, nū ungemende tō healdenne ǣnig þing inn oþþe ūt. Se rīp nǣfre gegaderod, sǣd þe hīred fēdan mihton, āspendon hīe selfe on molde, ungesewen.
Eall be þām ealdan wænwge gaderiaþ þā heardan stelan unmǣrre wyrt swā weardas. Heora fnæda hrēodon hwīlum fnæda fērendra sculdorhrægla, and forlēton dūst þe on hefigum scōm clīfaþ. Þās gyrda, strange swā hierdebātas, habbaþ gestanden þurh rēn and drȳge. Heora hēafda, hwīlum gecrȳnde mid lȳtlum blæcernum, tācn wōrigendum bēonum, hnigaþ nū under hefignesse gymeleaste þǣre tīde. On ǣrrum tīdum sōhton lǣcas and gaderiendan hīe, and heora sēaw and tēa wǣron ātogen tō sārum and feforum, and heora andweardnes wæs ānfeald lāc. Tōdæg drȳgaþ heora stelan on þām winde, and hrisiaþ wiþ him selfum mid stefne besma þe ealne winter ūte wæs forlǣten.
Þæt cotlīf behindan þām wyrtūne is cōl, se heorþ āswāpen, þā windlas æmtige. Scyld, blēo bestōwenes hwǣtes and ealdes cornmelo, hangode be þǣre duru. Ǣr wæs hē geboren mid wīfe þe þurh dēawwǣt gærs ēode, and wyrtruman æt sunnūpgange gaderode. His rūge web, gemearcod mid gēarum brūcunge, tācnaþ weorc ungefremed. On þām cyste standaþ hunigcroccas forgietene, heora hlid fæste belocen, ac se innung slāw tō clumpenne. Se metecyst, gefōdrad mid saccas of þām cweorne, hielt ān lāfa. Nāht cymþ inn of þām feldum þissum mōnþum, and þā ytemestan eorþæppla sittaþ on geborstenre bolle.
Feor begeondan þām feldum, on þām miclum feldum, mearcodon settend ende sumeres mid þǣre sticle wegesīdan wēode. Hors wendodon fram heora þiccum styccum. Cild, hām of weorcum, pluccodon heora rihte stelan tō wyrcenne flānas oþþe wyrtūnmearca, and hwīlum wæfon hīe on beagum tō āhōnne ofer duru swā bene beteran gelimpes on þām niehstan rīpe. On þām wildum, þær stormas æt þām heofonrīme gaderiaþ, bīgaþ þās wyrt ac ne brecaþ. Heora fæstnes, þēah ungemeted, hæfþ hīe āwyrtwalod gehealdene þurh cneorissa gymeleaste.
Nū, þonne se wind heard of weste cymþ, bereþ hē swæcc ǣgþer eorþlicne and wanlīce lǣclicne, orþ ealdes feldes. Se lyft is þicce and stillu, hefig mid andgite þæs þe nā gegaderod is. Helm, hwīlum blētsung, þyncþ neah and cōl. Þēah mæg hand rǣcan tō þām þe gȳt ūpweard stent neah þām hege: gyrd tō swāpenne þone heorþ, stela tō styrienne þæt ytemeste þæs sūþes, spricge tō þām tēahwere. Þis sind þā ānfealdan dǣda, þone þerscold tō swāpenne, lȳtelne tēa of þām þe wunaþ tō sēoþenne, þone rūgan slīef þæs scyldes tō gebētenne, oþþe byrþen drīgra stela on þām heorþbeame tō settanne, tācn þæt nā eall is forloren.
