Twēgen swēras standaþ æt þām þersceolde, cealde mid wihte stilnesse. Betwux him wǣfels bedīglaþ þæt þe þǣrbūtan ligeþ, gemetod mid granatæpplum, eald swā spell. Æt fōtum þǣre Abbodessan stille wæter fangeþ stilnesse orþunge and gehāt þæs þe bediglod is. Nāht hēr is ofsted. Eall wunaþ æt brerde onwrigenesse. Hire handa restaþ on belocenre gewritrolle, hire dēagolnessa þearle geþryccede and ābīdigende. Hire setl is stān, ceald tō hrīnanne, corfen mid handum lange gewitenum, geseted on temple þǣr se lyft gefēleþ unēaþe āstyred siþþan þām lātestan ǣfenne.
Būtan þām wǣfelse þæt spell dēopaþ. On norþlande lēoht mist gaderaþ on morgenum þonne sēo eorþe ceald is and sēo sunne ān geþōht æfter wolcnum. Hē in slīdeþ slāwlīce, glīdende ofer feldas and hegas, bewæfende þā worulde on hnescre stilnesse. Wegferendan þe be þām ealdan mynstre faraþ geseoþ his torras ārīsende blāce and stille, hira brerdas gehnescede mid þām lēasan wealwigendan miste. Sēo woruld nis ādilgod ac geworht smalre, tācnu þinga ātogene lȳtlum būtan rǣce.
On beorgpæþe munucas ǣr tō gebede ēodon ǣr dægrēd. Hira hrægl, þrǣdbær þurh gēartīda, hæfdon onfangen hīw ealdes līnes lǣfed tō drīgenne on cealdum lyfte, gewefen and eftgewefen, ælc þrǣd gewitnes geþyldes. Se clāþ wæs smēþe, hrīne lȳtlum lēohtre þonne bōcfell, stillīce fealdende æt ælcere styrenesse. Hīe ēodon swā sceada, andgietfulle and unāstyrede, berende windlas rīsmelwes tō þām cycenum, þæt dust ārīsende on smalum wolcnum þā hwīle þe þā windlas wǣron āsette.
On þǣre cycene hlāf is geseht and gecneden. Lāmbolle, ceald and unþurhsīene, sit be hēape toclofenes gārlēaces, sēo hȳd swā þynne swā orþung, crēapende fram æt þām brerdum. Cōc wæter tō tē gēoteþ, and stīm ārīseþ, fordwinende on lyft, sceort unwiht wāgrift. On feorrum hyrne ēagþyrl ætȳweþ þone orcerd. On dēopum wintra plūmtrēow weraþ þynne hōd hrīmes, ælc telg gebrerdod, blīciende on þām ǣrestan lēohte þe unēaþe þā wāgas hrepaþ. On þām ēagþyrlstāne gefeald ǣrend resteþ, bōcfell gesmēþod mid carfulre handa, his ǣrend nū geinsiglod.
Sēo dēagolnes nis gewiten, ān restende. Sēo Abbodesse wacaþ swā higora stæppeþ þurh morgenmist be temples pōle, his feþera unāstyrede mid hlyne þǣre worulde. Hēo cūþ sprǣc þersceolda, geþyld þāra þe ābidaþ, þinga gīet ungesprecenra. Se wǣfels ne forbēodeþ, ac lāþaþ stilnesse, and biddeþ ānne māran tīd ǣr sēo rolle sīe ontȳned. Sēo stilnes is rȳm on þām andswara sittaþ, nā swā þunor ac swā dēaw.
Tōdæg sum man mæg ārīsan ǣr dægrēd and sittan be þām ēagþyrle, hlystende tō þām ǣrestum stæfclēoþum morgenes. Ōþer mæg pott tē sēoþan, sceawigende þone stīm dwinan and eftcuman. Mid hnesccum clāþe man mæg andwlitan ealdre lāmbolle glētian, oþþe tīd niman tō sehtenne melu, and lǣtende ælc corn on his āgnum slāwum wege lendan. Ælc dǣd is weg tō weorþienne þæt þe bediglod wunaþ and þæt þe drīfeþ lȳtlum æt brerde witanne.
