An ghealach: themes

In my opinion,hope is the main theme in the poem

I mo thuarim, is é dóchas an teama is laidre sa dán seo

The poet shows the theme when she says' a secret star that goes before me...on a journey in the darkness'

Leirionn an file an teama nuair a deer sí' a Réalta runda a ritheann romham..ar turas sa dorchadas'

The moon is shining down on her- it is a friend to her

Tá an ghealach ag lonrú anuas uirthi- cara atá ann di

The moon gives her hope

Tugann an ghealach dóchas di

The moon is a metaphor for hope

Is meafar í an ghealach don dóchas
