Icelandic version of the poem about Gluggagægir
Tíundi var Gluggagægir, grályndur mann, sem laumaðist á skjáinn og leit inn um hann. Ef eitthvað var þar inni álitlegt að sjá, hann oftast nær seinna í það reyndi að ná.
English version of the poem about Gluggagægir
The tenth was Window Peeper,a weird little twit,who stepped up to the windowand stole a peek through it.And whatever was insideto which his eye was drawn,he most likely attemptedto take later on.
