Gestumbl Heiðr 7VIII (Heiðr 54)/1 —  ‘high’

Hverr byggir fjöll?         Hverr fellr í djúpa dali?
Hverr andalauss lifir?         Hverr æva þegir?
Heiðrekr konungr,         hyggðu at gátu.

Hverr byggir fjöll? Hverr fellr í djúpa dali? Hverr lifir andalauss? Hverr þegir æva? Heiðrekr konungr, hyggðu at gátu.

Who lives on high mountains? Who falls in the deep dales? Who lives without breath? Who is never silent? King Heiðrekr, think about the riddle.
