Ān wer hangþ of cwicum trēowe, his woruld ymbhwyrfed and his ansīen ymbhringed mid lēohtbēage. On swīge þisse hwīle ne rǣsþ sēo tīd forþ. Hēo wunaþ, and ǣlc tīdbiht is ātogen swā sēo swīge ǣr ǣrdæge. Þā wyrttruman, gehȳdede under lēafmolde and mēose, sūcaþ ungesewen wæteru, and ufan healdaþ þā bōgas hine on midde lyfte, unstyriende. His gesihþ is ymbhwyrfed. Sēo gewunelice endebyrdnes þinga anbīdeþ, gefangen on līþre reste, þæt þæt andgiet on þǣre stilnesse nime hīw.
On ealdum spellum is ēa þe færþ tō slāwe þæt sēo ungeþyldgige ēage ne mæg hire fylgan. On hire stilostan tīde berþ hēo lange, beorhte fiscas, nēah ungesewene wiþ þæt moldebæd, and heora scilla fōþ þæt nīþere æfernleōht. Cēapmenn fērdon ǣr be swilcum wæterwegum, and lǣddon hlædene faru be þām ōfrum, and wrixledon mynet þe on ealdum tīdum wæs geslagen. Þās mynet, geburnode fram hundum handa, hēoldon þæt cōle gemynd heora forman gēotunge. Āhafen of þrǣde on stillum hūsum, wearþ ān mynet galdor wiþ ofergitunge. Þǣr stǣr is slāw and rædfæst, þēowiaþ swilc mynet nā āna swā feoh, ac swā gewita.
Þǣr sind niht þonne se heofon is wolcnleas and stil. Se fulla mōna is disc behindan wāge, and sēo woruld under him nimþ lēasne glisn. Wegfarende þe gāþ under gesihþe þæs mōnan ne þurfon blæcernes, for þām þe þæt lēoht gaderaþ on þām dēawe, on stānum and hrōfum, and on scēatum þe sind tō drȳgenne ātogene on þǣre līnan. On þǣre swīge scīnaþ ǣlc brerd ōþre worulde, nā fullīce swā ūre āgen, āne þe hielt hire ǣþm. Folclār segþ be farum þe ongunnon āna æfter þæs mōnan ūpstige, þonne se gewisnes wīcþ þǣre ungewisnesse glisnes and sceadwe. On þissum tīdum is se lyft scearpra, gefylled mid stence feorres regnes oþþe mid smæcce metelīcra tōla þe ūte wǣron forlǣten, ofergitene on ēagþyrelsylle.
On fjordum and norþernum hȳþum wācodon fisceras ǣr ānre wīsan wederes, þonne sēo sǣ læg unstyriende betweox þām scearpum stānum. Þā bātas restodon, stefnas tō openre sǣ gewende, and anbīdedon þǣre hwīle þe se wind eft cōme. On þissere anbīdunge, nett gebētte, spell gesægd, and seaxas gescearpode, þās stille dǣda gehȳraþ þǣre slāwan tīde þe sēo carte giefþ. Þǣre hȳþe swīge nis nā anginn ne ende, ac āhafen ǣþm.
Innan, on þǣre cycene, rest spon on þām bēode, glisniende smēþe of gēarum hrērunge. Spægl hlīnaþ wiþ þone weall, his brerd mid rēce gedrēfed. On symbeldagum wefeþ man þrǣdas ātogene of līþum stāne on wādas, and windeþ hīe ymbe wrīst oþþe dēþ hīe on cyste tō healdnesse. Ēac se ēadmōda bēod, boren of rūme tō rūme, hielt gemynd ǣlces metes þe man þegnode and ǣlces sprǣces þe man dǣlde ofer his cōlan brerde.
Gif þū wille gān on þis spell, sit stille be ēagþyrle and gehīer feorrne regn. Find eald mynet and þrycc hit on þīnre handflore, and fel his hefignes. Lǣt spon be þīnum bedde, gemynd lȳtelra frōfra. Oþþe gā on æfenglōme, and waca hū hrōfas and stānas gaderiaþ þæt endemeste lēoht, and gīem hū stilnes hwierfþ þā worulde ymb.
