Se Ānsetla

Se Ānsetla stent āna on stillum munte, and his lēohtfæt is āhafen swā hēah þæt hē þone nīehstan stæpe gesiehþ. Hē ne flīehþ þā woruld. Hē cīest āne stilnesse fram hire hlyd.

Sēo ānnes hēr is līþe. Hēo is nā wīte. On hire mæg man gehīeran þæt þe se hlyd drencþ. Se weg biþ gehȳded nēah, nā feorr on behāte.

Tōdæg getrīewe þām lȳtlan þe þīn āgen lēoht ætīewþ. Ne sēce endelēase lāre. Gā slāwe, and læt þone nīehstan stæpe genōg bēon.

Þæs Ānsetlan lēohtfæt scīnþ nū innweard, and ne līht þone weg beforan him. Sēo ānnes is geworden tō gehȳdnesse, and se munt is sēo burg, nā se stede þe man of gesiehþ.

Onwend, þū belūcst ǣlcne ūtweardne stæfn, and hāttst hine hlyd. Sēo smeagung wierþ tō flīehte. Þæt lēoht ne lǣt þē, ne nǣnne ōþerne.

Tōdæg wend þæt lēoht ūt. Ācsa hwā mæge þīn andgiet brūcan, and hwæþer sēo ānnes þē gȳt helpe. Sēo tīd mæg bēon cumen tō ofergange.
