Níu eru himnar á hæð talðir;
veit ek inn nezta, sá es Vindbláinn,
sá es Heiðornir ok Hreggmímir;
annarr heitir Andlangr himinn
— þat máttu skilja — þriði Víðbláinn;
Víðfeðmi kveðk vesa inn fjórða,
Hrjóðr — ok Hlýrni hygg inn sétta —
Gimir, Vetmímir; get ek nú vesa
átta himna upp um talða;
Skatyrnir stendr skýjum efri;
hann es útan alla heima.
Níu himnar eru talðir á hæð; ek veit inn nezta, sá es Vindbláinn, sá es Heiðornir ok Hreggmímir; annarr heitir Andlangr himinn – máttu skilja þat – þriði Víðbláinn; kveðk Víðfeðmi vesa inn fjórða, Hrjóðr – ok hygg Hlýrni inn sétta – Gimir, Vetmímir; get ek nú vesa átta himna upp um talða; stendr Skatyrnir efri skýjum; hann es útan alla heima.
Nine heavens are counted on high; I know the lowest, it is Vindbláinn, it is Heiðornir and Hreggmímir; the second is called Andlangr himinn – you can understand that – the third [is] Víðbláinn; Víðfeðmir I say is the fourth; Hrjóðr – and Hlýrnir I believe is the sixth – Gimir, Vetmímir; I say that now eight heavens have been counted; Skatyrnir stands above the clouds; it is beyond all the worlds.

[6] Hreggmímir (m.): Lit. ‘storm-Mímir’. This is another name for one of the lowest heavens. The first element of the cpd is hregg n. ‘storm, rain’, and the second element, Mímir, is the name of the wise giant who is the keeper of the well brunnr Mímis ‘Mímir’s well’ in Old Norse myth (see also Vetmímir, l. 15 below).
