Wudugrēne

Riht · #228B22

On bēode on belocenum wyrtūne sind þā fēower tōl ūt gesett: smæl stæf īwes, rand lāmenre fatu scīnende on morgens sunnan, ecg mid lindentrēowes handfæce, and mynet geprented mid edlǣcunge ealdre byrig. Þæs Drȳs hand hōfaþ bufan and beneoþan, fingras gebrycgiende eorþan and heofon, on stillum geþafunge mid þām weaxendum þingum þe drīfaþ wiþ þā mēosigum stānum and þā geþyldigan stelas begeondan. Hēr is willa ǣgþer sǣd on folman and þā wyrtruman þe windaþ ungesewene on lāme.

Begeondan wyrtūnwealle rīseþ se wudu. Bōgas windaþ bogan bufan windendum wegum, heora helm scildiende þæt þe under weaxeþ. On þām ǣrestum tīdum, ǣr stefnas þā lyft āstyren, fōþ hnesce nǣdla and brāde lēaf þā wǣtnese of drīfendum miste. Sēo eorþe orþaþ ūt stenc pīncēna and gecnyysedra fearna, and þā stillan āþolunge netela rīsende æt grundwealle āces. Hēr nis mægen þunor, ac se singala scyfe seapes under rinde, sēo slāwe weorþung nīwra hringa on heorttrēowe. Þæs Drȳs tōl, gierd, calic, sweord, and mynet, āgaþ ǣlc his hīw þām geþyldigan gewinne þisse wudustōwe: trēow tō handfæce, lām tō calice, ōr tō ecge, and gemynd ealdra wuduwega on mynete cēapes.

Þurh stǣre hæfþ se wudu bēon weorchūs and frīþstōw þāra þe scieppaþ and þāra þe sēcaþ. Þā ǣrestan sōceras geleornodon rǣdan mearca wildra bāra on fearne, and gaderodon swammās þāra hēafdu scimerodon mid dēawe. On ealdum tīdum ēodon lǣcas þās gesceadwodan paþas, and gaderodon þā gewrīþenan ordas fiddlehēafda tō lǣcedōme, and wilde cærsan tō heora bēodum. Munecas þrycton wōs of spriccum swētes wudurofes, and cild pluccodon hæselgierda tō dēoplīcum gierdum. Þæs ceorles hrægl, gewefen of wulle scēapa leswera æt ecge wudes, bær stenc tyrwan and gecnyysedra nǣdla, scild wiþ þām ungewissum wedre þe gaderaþ under þām bōgum. On þǣm hole mæg færlic rēn cnyssan wiþ þone helm, feallende on gehnescedum hīwum, and beneoþan wunaþ se grund cōl and wǣt, wilcuma þām þe swincaþ oþþe restaþ on his sceade.

Willa nis nā dyrstignes ānum, ac ēac gīemen. Se Drȳ sceawaþ hū se wuduflōr nǣfre stillu is, hū wild gārlēac ūp þringþ þǣr gæres lēaf feollon, and hū þā smēþan āddran sūran edlæcaþ þā windendan ēa nēah. On hīrede findeþ þis his edlǣcunge þonne handa bewindaþ hǣfe and lāwer on līnen tō gestencenne crocc, oþþe þonne mann sciepþ gangstæf of feallenum bōge, oþþe līneþ windel mid mēose ǣr hē hine fylle mid þæs gēares ǣrestum æpplum. Þæt dæghwāmlīce biþ gehwirfed þurh willan tō gīemenne, tō brūcenne þæt þe æt handa is: spelc trēowes tō tāne, minte nīwe gepluccod tō cuppan tēas, se scīma īfiges swā hē stīgþ þone wyrtūnweall.

Tōdæg meaht þū briwan pīnnǣdla tēa tō clǣnnesse, oþþe drīfan fearn on trametas stillre bēce, oþþe gān under ealdum trēowum tō fæstnienne þīne geþōhtas. Þū meaht gaderian feallene cēn and lecgan hīe on þīnre wrītbrede swā stilla mynegunga þæs āþoliendan weorces wyrtruma. Þās sind smale dǣda, and þēah is ǣlc geflēting andweardnesse and willan, tēah niþer mihte, swā Se Drȳ dēþ, of rīce mihte intō þǣre worulde æt handa.

Tōdæges wyrdblēo is Wudugrēne.
