An Ghealach

Údar:

Is dán é seo faoin ghealach mar shiombail láidir de sholas, treoir agus dóchas sa dorchadas.	This is a poem about the moon as a strong symbol of light, guidance, and hope in darkness.
Sa dán, tá an file ag taisteal sa dorchadas, ach tá an ghealach ag lonrú os a cionn.	In the poem, the poet is travelling in darkness, but the moon is shining above her.
Léiríonn sé seo go bhfuil an ghealach mar chuidiú di agus go dtreoraíonn sí í sa saol.	This shows that the moon is a help to her and guides her through life.
Úsáideann an file íomhánna áille chun cur síos a dhéanamh ar an ngealach mar cara, treoraí, agus solas sa dorchadas.	The poet uses beautiful imagery to describe the moon as a friend, guide, and light in the darkness.
Tá mothúcháin láidre le brath sa dán, go háirithe uaigneas, dóchas agus muinín.	There are strong emotions in the poem, especially loneliness, hope, and trust.
Is féidir an ghealach a fheiceáil mar shiombail de threoir inmheánach – an 'solas' istigh ionainn a chabhraíonn linn dul tríd an saol.	The moon can also be seen as a symbol of inner guidance – the 'light' inside us that helps us through life.
