Hēah pæþ clīmþ ofer þone feld, nearwiende swā hē rīst, and se ānga gefēra is strang gangstæf. Þæs stæfes gewered grān is geglisnod fram langum brūce, tācn selftrēowþe and stillra fara. On þām coppe anbīdeþ Se Ānsetla, and hielt his lēohtfæt nēah. His lēoht, āsmored, gaderaþ nā feorr fram his hēahscōum. Sēo ōþer woruld fealleþ āweg, nā burga, nā hlyd, āna se wind and þā swīgendan hīw beorga under līþum dīestre drȳgre tīde. Þis is se stede þǣr ānnes ne þyncþ īdel, ac nīed, stede þǣr smēagung is scearpra þonne sprǣc.
Þæt lēohtfæt is gescypen of mæstlinge, ealdre wīsan, mid hōde tō scyldenne his lēg wiþ fǣrlīcum windum. Hit is þing þe man mihte findan on cempan seame of ōþrum gēarhunde, nēah strangum brōcum þe habbaþ ārafen dūst and sunnan ofer fremdum landum. Þās brōc, handseowene oþþe cræftseowene, ēodon ǣr ofer feorrum hlīþum and ēaōfrum, borene fram þām þe þorfton tō dīegelianne on þæt land, nā cīgende ne scīnende. Cēapmenn bǣron clāþ swilcne be olfendum and īsenwegum of þām cēapstōwum þǣr Indus mētte þā Persiscan hēahstrǣta, þǣr se wind self þūhte sunbæcen and unāswiciend. Se clāþ, heard and unātīewed, wæs weorþ fram þām þe þorfton tō ārafenne þā weder and tō gānne forþ, lange æfter þām þe beorhtran bēacen wǣron blācode.
Under fōtum þæs Ānsetlan is sēo eorþe drȳge, ac nā unwæstmbǣre. Heah gærs bīegaþ on winde, sǣdhefig and swēgende, gescypen fram þǣre ilcan sunnan þe hæfþ blācod geteld geslagen nēah ecge þæs pæþes. On latum æferne, þonne þæt lēoht weaxeþ lang, fōþ þās gærs þā endemestan lēoman, and hweorfaþ þā hlīþ tō līþre wealcendre sǣ. Hierdas wācodon ǣr heora eowde hēr, and getrīewdon þone scyld fram hǣte and þā dīegelnese fram feorrum ēagum. On þissum stōwum nis sēo stilnes āna īdelnes ac gecoren þing, and se ānga hlyd is se smale hrȳst þonne mūs yrnþ tō hire hole under wyrttrumum wildes hwǣtes.
Ānnes hēr nis ānwunung. Hēo is plantod anbīdung, swā sēo stilnes ǣr monsūne oþþe sēo swīge þe setlaþ ofer geteld þā hwīle þe man gēt tēa of ealdum wæterfate. Honda þæs Ānsetlan, gehærdode of dagum færeldes, magon rǣcan tō cicel gebacenum ofer openum glēdum oþþe tō handfulle hirstedra cicerbēana, ānfeald mete þe man mæg beran wucan on gewederodum punge. Geo smæccon landfundiendas þās ilcan þing þā hwīle þe hīe mearcodon gemǣru wēstena and ecgas rīca, and getrīewdon heora āgen rǣd and mǣton ǣlcne stæpe be rǣce þæs lēohtfætes.
Tōdæg meaht þū gān mid willan on ǣrdæge, and niman āna þæt þū meaht beran on þīnum hrycge. Þū meaht bētan sum þing mid nǣdle and strangum þrǣde, scēadende roc oþþe sēam þæt hē þurhwunige ōþer gēar. Stille tīda magon bēon ātogene on gebrowenne tēa ofer lȳtlum lēge, oþþe on rǣdinge be lēohtfæte æt þīnum āgenum ēagþyrle, sēo woruld ūtan āsmorod mid swīge incumendes mistes. Weg þæs Ānsetlan nis be flēame, ac be cyre hwilce stefnas and hwilcne gefērscipe man wile wilcumian binnan þām lȳtlan hringe þæs lēohtfætes.
