Hroþa hæfþ cwice hand
Lōciende ymbe rūm, nile tellan þē his ræd
Hē hæfþ smocapīpan fulne
Hōmde ūt mūþe, biþ ān wilde cniht
Hē fand Īrisċ-worht bogan
On hises fæder ċiste diernan on arċe þinga
Iċ ne ġīet cnāwe hwæt
Hē is cumende for þē, hē is cumende for þē ġēa
Eall þā ōþer ċild mid findġum soccum
Sċulon betera rinnen fram minum earhum
Eall þā ōþer ċild mid findġum soccum
Sċulon betera rinnen, cwicra þon mīn boga
Eall þā ōþer ċild mid findġum soccum
Sċulon betera rinnen fram minum earhum

Ætta wyrcþ lange dæġe
Hē is cumende hām late, hē is cumende hām late
And hē's bringende mē wundor-ġife
For þenung is on cyċenan baþod on īse
Iċ bēo wæht for lange hwīle
