From Asgard to Midgard, the home of men [and the old eyebrow region], stretched a wonderful rainbow bridge, a bridge of many hues or colors. Up and down that bridge the gods could travel to the earth, and thus keep close to the doings of men.
The green earth was made for men. The gods therefore decided to build their city above men in the heavens, where they could watch the doings of their favorites and protect them from the wicked giants. Asgard was to be their city. It was protected by the eminent Thor with his thunderbolt hammer, he was also the foremost protector of the gods.

Bergþór Goðrúnarson - Thor

Brun han rider till jungfruns gård
Brun sover allena
Ute för honom jungfrun står
Det blåser och det regnar
Nordast uti fjällen, där vila ock tre nordmän

Brun han breder ut kappan blå
Brun sover allena
Och själver lyfter han jungfrun uppå
Det blåser och det regnar
Nordast uti fjällen, där vila ock tre nordmän

Brun han rider till Rosenlund
Brun sover allena
Där lyster han att vila en stund
Det blåser och det regnar
Nordast uti fjällen, där vila ock tre nordmän
