Sēo Steorra

Be stillum wætere cnēowlaþ ān līchama, and gȳt wæter of twām croccum, ānne on þā eorþan and ōþerne on þone strēam. Bufan scīnþ ān steorra, stillu trēow æfter costnungum.

Sēo Steorra nis nā micel bōt. Hēo is sēo lȳtle dǣd þe þū meaht dōn, þē and ōþrum, þā hwīle þe se māra weg is gȳt dīegol. Þā croccas on þīnre handa wegaþ mā þonne feorr behāt.

Tōdæg dō āne lȳtle dǣde þe fēdeþ. Þēah sēo niht wunige, þū meaht þē and þā nēahstan healdan. Se hyht wunaþ on þām dæghwāmlīcan.

Þā croccas hieldaþ, and þæt wæter gȳt on āne stōwe, and stent, and ne yrnþ. Se steorra nis nā forloren, ac þū nelt hine sēcan, for þȳ þe þū wilt ealle bōte on āne tīd.

Onwend, se hyht wierþ tō nīede hrædre hælinge. Þū eart wērig, oþþe þū iernst, and þū gȳtst būtan gīemene. Se stilla ryne þǣre nīwunge is tōbrocen.

Tōdæg gȳt æne, līþe, and ne bīd hrædre hweorfunge. Se hyht þearf rūmes. Sēo hæling cymþ stille, nā eall on ānum gote.
