On þǣre cartan hwerfþ þæt hwēol, ac ymbcerred, his styrenes biþ gefangen, swā hand hit ætstent ǣr se ymbhwyrft gedōn sīe. Nǣdran and sphinxas, nīetenu spelles, þyncaþ nū niþer slīdan mā þonne clīfan, heora wyrda ungestilde. Þā anlīcnessa bīdaþ, ēagan wære, swā hīe wacien æfter hweorfunge gelimpes þe ufan fealle. Þā tācnu on þām rīman, ǣr clǣne, āsmēaþ nū on geþance, heora andgiet lȳtel būtan gripe. On þissum tīman nis se wȳsc nā tō hlīepe, ac tō anbīdunge, willa tō healdenne, tō ancerienne þā hweorfendan woruld and tō metenne ǣr ōþer hweorfung cymþ.
On stillrum hyrnum þǣre worulde ætstent sēo hweorfung be dæghwāmlicum þingum þe geþyld scōp. Þǣr hangaþ ealdra cempena hrægl on forgitenum cistum, heora clāþ gewērod and stearc, gefaren þurh lām and biterne rēn. Þās hrægl gebyrodon ǣr mannum þe þurh feldas on ǣrestum lenctene trugodon, bōtas hefige mid eorþan and wætere. Sēo ilce blēo mearcaþ þā līnena hrōfas āþenode ofer fōrscipewænum oþþe fyrdgeteldum gesettum on regne, se clāþ āheardod mid wedre, þā þrǣdas wǣte and ādrūgode hundtēontigum sīþum, wiþsacende tō giefenne. Bōtas āscorene mid dūste and smierwe gaderiaþ nēah durum, berende mearca dǣda gedōnra and wega ofergānra.
On feorrum hrycgum standaþ rǣwa trēowa, heora lēaf lȳtel and lang, mid weaxenum brerde þe gemynd drȳga þæs Wendelsǣs hielt. Þā trēow bīegaþ ac ne brecaþ, heora wyrttruman bewundene betwēonan stānum, clifiende tō hlīþum þǣr ealde wegas ǣr wundon. Þās grāfas, geplantode mid handum þe nū forgāne sind, habbaþ ymbsetl and tīda oferlifd, ǣlc wæstm met geþyldes, ǣlc feallen lim spell geþoledra storma. On stilnesse middeges flēogeþ se lyft mid hǣte ārīsendre bufan þissum grāfum, glisn þe stilnesse bodaþ mā þonne styrenesse.
On þǣre cycene līniaþ croccan dūstig bēod, gefyllede mid sealte hærfestum þe wintres bīdaþ. Betwēonan him restaþ gehǣlede wæstmas on dēorum wætere, wæstm langra nōntīda on snīþunge, sealtunge, and drȳce āspenodra. Þā croccan sind fæste gesealde, heora innoþ āwend mid tīde, swā wyrd self gehealden bēon mihte. Gehende, be openum ēagþȳrele, hlinþ wyrtūnes spadu wiþ gewērodne wudene stōl, dǣlas eorþan clifiende tō his blæde. Þæs wyrtweardes handa, gemarcod of tīdum betwēonan wyrtbeddum and þūfum, wuniaþ ofer ǣlcre wyrte, drȳcende þā molde on slāwum, willendlicum ryne, lāþiende wæstm ac nǣfre nīedende hine.
Stormwolcnu gaderiaþ niþerlīce ofer þām feldum, se heofon fæst mid þrēatendum rēne. Wind styreþ hēafdu þūfa, and þēah se regnscūr yldaþ, swā se heofon gefangen sīe on tīde tweones: bricþ hē, oþþe hangaþ se þrēa āna, unālīesed? Þā feldas bīdaþ, furas ǣr corfene, þæs tācnes þæt hweorfung cumen is, ac nū is se wȳsc tō healdenne trumne, tō healdanne þā hwēol þæt hīe tō hræde ne hweorfen.
Tōdæg meaht þū gān betwēonan ealdum trēowum and hlystan æfter spellum þe heora trummas healdaþ, oþþe gescȳ gladian þe þē þurh ungewissne grund boren habbaþ. Þū meaht sealtwæter hrēran tō eadmōdum wæstmum, sēlende geþyld and hyht tō wintres þearfe. Oþþe, mid handa on trumum tōle, wend þā molde līþe, ārende þā anbīdunge ǣr wæstm nīwe dǣd bidde.
