Paratext Text (Ar léamh go bhfuil daonra an tíogair san Ind ar tí titim fé mhíle).
Notes The speaker of the poem bemoans the catastrophic state of the tiger population in India, and puts full blame for the disaster at the feet of humanity - accusing humanity of greed, desire, and boastfulness, having imagined ourselves as being in the imagine of God himself.
