Géibheann: Codarsnacht

There is contrast in this poem between freedom and oppression.

Tá codarsnacht sa dán seo idir saoirse agus daoirse.

There is a big contrast between the life of the animal as it is now and the life he had in his native place.

Tá codarsnacht mhór idir saol an ainmhí mar atá anois agus an saol a bhí aige ina áit dúchais.

He had freedom and control on his own life. He had self-confidence and self-respect.

Bhí saoirse aige agus smacht ar a shaol féin. Bhí féinmhuinín agus féinmheas aige.

There is a clear interesting contrast between the 2 verses.

Tá codarsnacht shoiléir shuimiúil idir an dá véarsa.
