Which every day they come and go in heaven,
O’er the bridge Bifrost, where is Heimdall’s watch.
“But he must tread a dark untravelled road
Which branches from the north of heaven, and ride
Nine days, nine nights, toward the northern ice,
Through valleys deep engulfed, with roaring streams.
And he will reach on the tenth morn a bridge
Which spans with golden arches Giöll’s stream.
Then he will journey through no lighted land,
Nor see the sun arise, nor see it set;
