Analysis (Analise) of the poem (gedig)
1. Ek onthou die engel “Ek” = personal
(persoonlike) pronoun
(voornaamwoord) which
(wat) indicates (aandui)
that this is a first-person
narrator
(eerstepersoonsverteller).
It also contributes (dra by)
in making the poem more
personal and intimate
(intiem).

, The use (gebruik) of the
capital letter (hoofletter)
not only (nie net)
indicates (dui aan) the
beginning of the poem,
but also the speaker’s
thought process
(gedagtegang).

“die” = it is a specific
(spesifieke) angel (engel)
who made (gemaak) the
decision (besluit). The
angel (engel) therefore
(dus) made (gemaak) the
decision (besluit) for (vír)
the mother, not the
mother herself,
emphasizing
(beklemtoon) the idea of
rejection (verwerping) in
the speaker’s mind
(spreker se gedagtes).

2. het my van die rand Effective (effektiewe) use
(gebruik) of
enjambement, showing
(wys) the speaker’s train
of thought
(gedagtegang).

3. van wik en weeg Idiom (idoom): when you
“wik en weeg”, it means
that you go back and
forth between something,
weighing out (oorweeg)
your options (opsies) and
therefore
(dus/daarom/derhalwe)
