Geibheann Flashcards
Imprisonment is the theme of the poem Géibheann
Is é daoirse téama an dán Géibheann
There is an image of the animal when he was living in the wood in the tropics
Tá íomhá den ainmhí nuair a bhí sé ina chónaí sa choill sna teocreasa
In the woods he is free, strong and fearsome
Sa choill tá sé saor, láidir agus scanrúil
But in prison in the zoo he is weak, tired and sad
Ach i ngéibheann sa zú tá sé lag, tuirseach agus brónach
He is not how he used to be
Níl sé mar a bhí
Captivity is the theme
Is mbraighdeanas an téama
