The animal is strong and powerful and he was the king of the jungle
Tá an t-ainmhí laidir agus cumhachtach agus bhí sé mar rí ar na teochrasa
He shook the trees with his roar
Chroith sé “crainnte na coille” lena gháir
The opposite is true in the second verse
A mhalairt atá fíor sa dara versa
The animals pride is gone
Tá bród an ainmhí imithe
In its place is sadness and despair
Ina áit tá brón agus isle brí
His energy is gone aswell
Tá Fuinneamh an ainmhí imithe chomh mhaith
He lies down and looks at a lonely tree, alone
Luíonn sé síos agus feáchann sé ar chrann amháin, ina aonar
He is a show for the 100s of people that come every day
Is taispeantas é do na céadta daoine a thagann gach lá
There is a huge contrast in the poem
Tá codarsnacht ollmhór sa dán
There is contrast between the two verses
Tá codarsnacht idir na dhá vearsaí ann
In the first verse the animal is free and happy in the tropics
Sna chéad versa tá an t-ainmhí saor agus sásta sna teochrasa
In the second verse the animal is in captivity
Sa dara vearsa tá an t-ainmhí i ngeibheann
He is unhappy tired and in the depths of despair
Tá sé míshásta, lag agus in úmar na haimléise
It’s a metaphorical poem
Is dán meafrach é
Caitlin maude uses the strong animal in captivity as a symbol for her own life
Usaideann Caitlín Maude ainmhí allta atá i ngeibheann mar shiombal da saol féin

Usaideann sí dhá íomhá eagsula
A strong, powerful animal and an animal that is in captivity without energy and power
Ainmhí laidir, cumhachtach agus ainmhí atá i ngeibheann gan fuinneamh agus gan cumhacht

Her sickness has a big influence on her poetry
Bhí tionchar mór ag a breoiteacht ar a cuid filíochta
