Heiðr
Heiðr (from the Old Norse adjective meaning "bright" or the noun meaning "honour") is the seeress and witch (völva) mentioned in one stanza of Völuspá, related to the story of the Æsir-Vanir war:
The general assumption is that Heiðr is an alternate name for the witch Gullveig, mentioned in the previous stanza, who, in turn, is often thought to be a hypostasis of Freyja. But it is sometimes argued that the völva who recites the poem refers to herself.
Heiðr is also a seeress in several works such as Landnámabók (S 179 / H 45), Hrólfs saga kraka (3) and Örvar-Odds saga (2), where she predicts Örvar's death.
Heiðr is lastly a child of the giant Hrímnir according to Völuspá hin skamma (Hyndluljóð, 32).

A walk in the park
by: Hurrah!I walk by day all around
Around your door
And then I'll say
What's been wrong with you, my love
It's like I've been so kind that I
I can show you whatS7s better
Now for rainy days
Since I've gone you've been down
Down on promises of chance
And better things
Like a walk in the park
The one time losing time has come
For us to spand a while
Talk and remember
Sweet days of love and hope and joy
But now these days have gone
And al I have
Are thoughts of what we were
Like ships that pass on summer nights
That won't relate
And now our time slipped away
Go and find
What fortune comes your way
