On þām weligan wyrtūne þǣre Cwēne siteþ wīf on ceorfnan setle under bōgum þe mid wæstme sind hefige. Ymb hīe stent hēah gærs on rihtum rǣwum, and ǣlc stela hæfþ cropp rīpes cornes. Sēo smylte hlyd þāra stela gǣþ mid stilnesse wæterhryres gehende, and þæt wæter fēdeþ wyrtruman ǣlces libbendes þinges. Æt hire fōtum clīfaþ rōsan and blōwaþ, and heora blēda sind opene tō þǣre sunnan, and on hire bearme rest geflæten windel, full sinwealtra hlāfa þe gȳt of þām heorþe wearme sind. Sēo eorþe hēr is geworht and līþe tō underfōnne. Hēo ætīewþ geornan cræft manigra tīda: wegas þe fōtlāstas mearciaþ, bedd ymbsett mid smalum stānum, and trēowene racan þe wiþ nīedran hege hlinaþ.
Begeondan þissum gehealdenan stede openaþ þæt land wīde, fela felda þe līþe wealcaþ. Eald spell wunaþ hēr. On þām ǣrestum tūnum gaderodon menn þis hēahe gærs æt sumeres ende, and hīe curfon hit and bundon hit tō byrþenum hām tō berenne. Þæt corn þe hīe gaderodon wearþ se ǣresta hlāf, gebacen on clǣmenum ofnum, and hē afēdde hīredas þurh cealde mōnþas. Þā ilcan feldas gēafon strēaw tō þæcenum hrōfum and tō līþum beddum, and swā heoldon hīe hīredas wiþ winde and rēne. On hūsum be ēaōferum wæs se rīp geblissod mid gemǣnum mēlum and lēoþum. Ǣlc bēod wæs gesett mid hlāfum and croccum, and ǣlc duru wæs geglenged mid gebregdenum stelum, tō tācne wilcuman and blētsunge.
Spell and gemynd sind gewefen on þissum feldum. On ealdum dagum hangode hring gebregdenra stela ofer duru, tō bewerigenne hungor and ungelimp. On Crēca lande sægdon menn þæt Dēmeter ferde geond þæt land mid scēafe under hire earm, and hire gifu manncynne wæs se cræft sāwunge and rīpunge, and geþyld þe ǣlce tīd biþ geleanod. On þām wīdum feldum bēag se stela mid þām winde and stōd eft, fæst þurh færlicum stormum and langum mōnþum bīdunges. On cycenum ēodon handfula cornes þurh cweornstān, and siþþan on dāh þe gelǣrede handa scōpon. Se swæcc þǣre bacunge fōr ūt þurh openum ēagþȳrelum, behāt frōfres and genyhtes.
Æfter þām rīpe, þonne þā feldas bære sind and se lyft cōlra, went þæt weorc inn. Ōþre stelas gaderaþ menn and bindaþ tō besmum, and swāpaþ þæt ytemeste dūst of þām heorþe. Sume wæfaþ hīe mid care tō hættum oþþe mattum, nytte and fæste, and bringaþ gemynd sumeres felda intō þām hūse þonne dagas sceortiaþ. Ēac on feorrum ceastrum clipaþ crocc drīgra stela on þām bēode eft tō þām ealdum wegum, gemynd þæt genyht flōwþ of þām ānfealdum þingum.
Tōdæg mæg mann dāh cnedan tō nīwum hlāfe and hine wearmne dǣlan mid ōþrum, and swā edlæcan þone ealdan wīsan fēdunge and gemǣnnesse. Gif þū setst ānfealdne byrþen drīgra stela on syll þæs ēagþȳreles, oþþe wæfst hring tō āhōnne ofer þǣre duru, þonne gelāþast þū stille gelimp. Gif þū swāpest rūm mid strēawbesma, slāwe and fæste, þonne bringst þū stilnesse þæs rīpes intō þīnum hāme. Gif þū healdest handful cornes þǣre niehstan tīde on lȳtlum crocc, þonne ārst þū geþyld and þæt behāt edniwunge.
