Hlyst! Þrēo hringas – ælfen-cyningum,

Heah under wolcnum, hæleþum bringum.

Seofon dweorgum in stān-heallum,

Golde gegierwed, grimme weallum.

Nigon mannum – dēaðes bearnum,

Feorh biþ lǣne, folc biþ wearðum.

Ān þām sceadum – mōdor-landes,

Þǣr se dēofol rīcsat mid blōdige hande.

Ān hring eall! Ān hring find!

Ān hring bind in þīestre grind!

Mōdor-land, þǣr sċadu sind,

Hringas wealdan, hringas twin!

Gehlyst þū mīn word?

Þū eart on spēdum!

Þes hring þē nimeð,

þīn mōd bið clǣnum!

Dēofles craft, dēaðes swefn,

Ān hring rīcþ ofer eall menn!
