Nīedra stānweall mearcaþ gemære wyrtūnes þǣre Cwēne. Se hwǣte bīehþ and hnigaþ on þām winde, and his hnescan hēafda hrīnaþ berigþicce þyrne, and þā rōsan āgēotaþ heora swæcc ofer rīpum styccum eorþan. Þū findst hīe sittende, nā on cynestōle, ac on bence mēoshladenes timbres, sunnwærme and ēaþe swā beorhhlīþ. Æt hire fōtum ligeþ windel full æppla, pera, and nīwlīce gegaderedra bēana. Se lyft bifþ mid hlyde wæterhryres þe betwēonan stānum æt þæs lēages ecge slīdeþ.

Woruld þǣre Cwēne is gesceapen mid stillre ēstfulnesse þæs wudes. Stoccas ealdra trēowa rīsaþ behindan hire wyrtūne, swēoras rūge mid līcene and bewundene on gemynde rēnes. Betwēonan þām wyrttruman sprēadaþ fearn swā handa ealdra lǣca, and dēawig clǣfre brēdeþ þone grund. Wilde gārlēac weaxeþ on līþum swaþum, and his swæcc mengþ mid swētnesse mǣdgærses. Of þissum wudum habbaþ menn hām geboren byrþena fȳrwuda, windlas of wiligbōgum gewefen, and swamm gaderod æfter þām ǣrestum langum rēnum hærfestes.

On þām ealdan lande wæs se wudu ǣgþer friþstōw and andweorc. Þonne stormas þām feldum þrēatedon, scildon tūnware under his bōgum, and hlyston þām dropum rēnes on sprūces nǣdlum. Cild spyrdon þā burnan þe þurh þone underscrōb slidon, and hyhtton þæt hīe heorot oþþe glēam forhtes on þām smalum wætere gesāwon. On stilnesse þæs wudes sōhton wyrtgaderiendan þā lēaf and þā rinde þe feforas hǣldon and geswell smylton, and hierdas lǣddon heora heorda be þām cōlum sceadwegum. Ēac se clāþ þe ofer eaxlum þǣre Cwēne ligeþ, hnesce swā underlēaf linde, wæs gehīwod mid þām þe se wudu geaf: netlum, walhhnutuhulum, oþþe sēawe of stycces stingendes sūran.

Spell wunaþ on ǣlcum lēage, gewefen on hrūstle lēafa and on dropum wæteres. Folcspell sprecþ be heortan þæs wudes swā stōwe þær genyht wunaþ, cwic wylspring þe ǣgþer fēdeþ and bewereþ. Wyrtūn þǣre Cwēne gaderaþ þæt spell and legeþ hit līþe æt þīnum fōtum, and wendeþ hit of sēgenne tō þām hlāfe þe þū bricest and tō þām wæstme þe þū smæcst. Se wæterhryre, ā farende, is gemynd þæt þæt þe genihtsum biþ sceal bēon ārlic, and mid gehōldum handum ūp ātogen þonne þū þyrst. Genyht is hēr, nā swā feorr behāt, ac on þām orþigendan andweardan: on swæcce hǣþe þe se wind up āhefþ, on hnescre þyccan mēoses, on wæstme þe hefig betwēonan netlum rest.

Tōdæg sēc þone stillan helm trēowa and gā heora sceadwegas, and gefrēd hrīninge lēafa wiþ þīnne earm. Cōc mid wyrtum þe þū self gegaderodest, oþþe brēow ānfealdne tēa of þām þe þīn cyst hæfþ, lāwerlēafe, minte, oþþe spricge þȳmes. Sit on trēowenre bence, oþþe on þām gærse gif þū hit findst, and lūc ēagan tō gehȳrenne þæt neahe wæter, sīe hit ceasterwyl, cycenhæne, oþþe gemynd rēnes. Sete spricge fearnes oþþe clǣfran on þīnum bēode tō tācne wilcuman and tō lȳtelre lāþunge tō genyhte.

Tōdæges wyrdblēo is Wudugrēne.
