Sēo Sunne

Sēo Sunne is sēo tīd þonne lēoht līþe onlīht þæt þe wæs gehȳded, and þing magon bēon gesewen būtan sceame. Swā blōstm openaþ, and swā cild openlīce plegaþ, swā mæg þæt sōþ orþian.

Þēos beorhtnes nis nā heard. Hēo is warmþ þe of openum līfe cymþ. Gefēa hēr nis nā lēan. Hē is se gecynd þæs līfes þe open is.

Tōdæg breng ān earfoþe þing tō lēohte, and læt hit bēon swā hit is. Open word mæg frēogan. Sēo hǣtu fēdeþ, and hēo ne bærnþ, gif hēo sōþ is.

Sēo Sunne onwend warnaþ lēohtes þe is tō micel, þonne ēac þā sceadwa sind ūt ādrifene, and nān þing ne mæg restan. Þū meaht bēon genīeded tō blīþum anlīcnesse, þā hwīle þe hit nis swā. Oþþe þū belūcst þā ēagþȳrelu, and ne trūwast þām lēohte.

Onwend, se brærd is beorht, and sēo heorte unhrinen. Sēo nīed tō blīþnesse oferwrīhþ þā sōþan gefēl. Beorhtnes wierþ tō plege, and sēo nēahnes forwyrþ.

Tōdæg lǣt lǣssa lēoht in, and cēos āne stōwe þe gesund is and sōþ. Ne nīed beorhtnesse ǣghwǣr. Sēo warmþ þe þū ne þearft ætīewan, sēo is se stede þe þū meaht wexan.
