Open passage
In Vindheim now: | would you know yet more?
Open passage

Open passage
Roofed with gold, | on Gimle it stands;
Open passage
There shall the righteous | rulers dwell,
Open passage
And happiness ever | there shall they have.
Open passage
65. There comes on high, | all power to hold,
Open passage
A mighty lord, | all lands he rules.

66. From below the dragon | dark comes forth,
Open passage
Nithhogg flying | from Nithafjoll;
Open passage
The bodies of men | on his wings he bears,
Open passage
The serpent bright: | but now must I sink.
