Smal weg wint þurh merscland, ungewiss on þǣm dimman, his brādnes slīpor of þæs nīwan flōdes ūpāstige. Hund yrnþ, tunga ātogen tō þǣre wǣtan lyfte, þā wulf ætīewþ æt þæs pæþes ecge, wildum ēagum speglendum þæt blāce lēoht. Betwēonan him wyrþ eorþstrica brycg ofer scealdum wætere.

Wolcnu gaderiaþ ymbe þone mōnan, þynne genōg þæt þynnes clāþes glēam þurhfærþ and ofer þæt land gȳt, and mearcaþ ānlīce þinga ymbhwyrft: þā stānas, þā hreod, þā polas þe tācniaþ hwǣr se sǣ inslād.

On feorrum landum onginnaþ spell æt ēaferum þǣr cēapmenn hwīlum bīdon færelda, heora gōd gegaderod on clāþe þe wæs gedēagod mid ǣrnum of eorþan ātogenum. Þās cnuwas, fæste bewundene, healdaþ feormode stānas þe menn gelȳfaþ fundene æt grunde beorglaca, gesmēþode þurh hundgēar wæteres and windes. On sumum stōwum sind hūswāgas bewrogene mid limweorce of þǣm ilcan ēabeddes lāme, and giefaþ būrum cōle smylte gefēle on wǣtum nihtum. Ealde spell cweþaþ þæt þās wāgas magon swefnu healdan, and ūte āwendan þǣre worulde gedwolan.
Innan ealdum tūne nēah sealtum wætere stent bæþhūs, getimbrod mid tigelum fiscscillum gelīcum. Þā polas hēr biþ gefylde nēah æfter ǣfne, sēo brādnes stillu swā glæs, and stēam āstīhþ stille on þā ræftras. Gif þū þīne hand dȳpest, þæt wæter gefēlþ swā sēo lyft ǣr rēnstorme, hnesce, nēah slīpor. On þǣm bencum restaþ gefealdene handclāþas, mid handa gewefene, be smēþum wudenum cambum. Þā þēnande sprecaþ mid niþrum stefnum, and gemyndgiaþ cuman tō gānne slāwe and tō hlystenne æfter edcierres crāwana of þǣm feorran mersce.
Hwǣr innan lande, feor of þæs sǣs rǣce, healdaþ hyrdas heora heorda under openum heofone. Hīe beraþ scēorfa gedēagode mid wyrtum þe grōwaþ ānlīce þǣr strēamas būgaþ and slāwiaþ.

On gewederodes hūses cycene sēoþ riscrocc be fǣte þe of ēastāne wæs corfen, his brādnes cōl tō hrīnenne. On þǣm ēagþyrlstocce drȳgaþ gedrȳcnede lēaf of feorre sǣrīman on lamfǣte, heora stenc gemenged mid þǣm sealte þe of þǣm ēamūþe in berþ. Bōc ligeþ open on bēode, hire hlæd gepricod mid hrāgran anlīcnesse. Se blæc innan flēwþ fæste, and wrīt swefnu þe þyncaþ nēah būtan rǣce, swā se mōnanlēoht pæþ ūte, healf gesewen, healf gerād.
