Niht geswīgaþ þā woruld on ungewissum. Twēgen stīplas standaþ æt pæþes ecge, heora ymbhwyrft gehnesced under mōnan þe ne ætīewþ fullīce hwæt forþ ligeþ. Æt þǣm ingange ābīdaþ tam hund and wilde wulf sīde be sīde, ǣgþer on þǣre tēsung ceare and gecyndes. Se flōd færþ mid slāwum ryhtme, and tēah līnan on sande, and forlǣt þone strand āwendne mid ǣlcum edcierres. Þæs mōnan beorhtnes gȳt līþelīce ofer þā gesihþe, and onlīht hiw ānlīce healfes weges, and tācnaþ mā þonne hēo ætīewþ. Ælc stān and ælc strēa dūnene gærses wunaþ betwēonan sceade and lēohte, þǣr sēo cūþe woruld ne biþ nǣfre fullīce gewiss.
On sǣtūnum þe morgenmist behȳdþ ārīsaþ fisceras ǣr forman lēohte. Hīe gearwiaþ heora scipu be þǣm wǣtan strande, gelǣdde mid feorres bēacnes lēoman. Seglclāþ, scearp and strang, biþ untogen, and fōþ þone swīþostan glit þe þurh þone mist sīhþ. On niþum flōde tēoþ cild lȳtle buccas ofer stānas, and gaderiaþ smēþe scillan and sǣworig glæs. Þæs sǣs orþung wunaþ on þǣre sealtan lyfte, and mearcaþ ecge wudena dura and īsenweorc gewederodra gata. Cyrtel þe nihtlang on līnan hangode flīetereþ on þǣre wǣtnysse, his clāþ gehnesced mid þǣre cōlan sealtan lyfte.
Feor fram þǣre sǣrīman, on swīgre ceasterstrǣte, sitt seamestere be hēagum ēagþyrle nēah ǣr dægrēde. Hire weorcsteall is mid care gesett: smæl sīd gefealden on bēode, rǣw nǣdla, crocc of meregrotcnæppum. Se ēagþyrels lāþ þone slāwan līþan cyme þæs dæges, and hēo smēþaþ ælcne sēam under handīsenes hefe. Þonne hēo geendaþ, hēo hōpaþ līnclāþas and bint hīe mid smalum wrīþelse, gearwe þǣm forman cēapmann. Ūte is sēo ceaster geswīged. Ānlīce milces wænes cnyss and feorre ciricbellan mearciaþ þā tīde. Se dæg ontȳnþ hnesce, swelce hē sīe on þynnum clāþe bewunden.
Hēage on beorgum nēalǣcaþ wegfarende geat þǣr ceald lyft glīt ofer þā eorþan. Æt ānum gesthūse biþ morgenmete geboden on feormodum platum: nīwe cēse, hlāf of þæs morgenes bacene, and crocc wearmes meolces. Se meteærn is swīge, būton wudenes setles cearciunge and þǣm hnescan tredan wullsceōna. Þurh þæt ēagþyrl biþ þā hēafdu gehnesced mid niþrum wolcnum, and se ēa niþer glit blāclīce, and speglaþ þæs heofones ǣrlēoht. Hēr þynnaþ sēo līne betwēonan gesewenum and ungesewenum. Hwīlum, æt ende langes gangweges, gesihþ sum mann dweliend nīeten stille faran æt þerscolde betwēonan inne and ūte.
Þæs swīgan ecg nihtes and dæges biþ gemearcod mid swilcum dæghwāmlīcum wundrum: glæses cnyss wiþ crocc, fæt nīwra snāwdropena on ofne, and cōlre lyfte drēam þurh healfopen ēagþyrl. Þis sind þā tīda þonne sēo woruld þyncþ ǣgþer ungewunelīc and nēah, þonne þinga ymbhwyrft biþ āteht mid þǣre smalestan handa.
Þū meaht tōdæg þīn ēagþyrl ontȳnan tō þǣre ǣrlyfte and behealdan þone mist āhebban of hrōfum, oþþe croccen fæt settan be þīnum bedde tō lāþienne līþe swefnu. Lecge gedrȳcnedne handclāþ on þīnne pohhan ǣr þū hām forlǣtst, oþþe gā bærfoþ ofer tigelan þe gȳt cōle sind of þǣre nihte. Ælc is stæpe on þone pæþ þe ānlīce on scilfrum biþ ætīewed, weg tō healdenne swīge lēoht on þīnre gehealde.
