Abstract

This article analyzes one of Gumilyov’s most famous poems, a deeper understanding of which requires a linguopoetic analysis. Using the method of slow reading and paying attention to the following elements: composition, intertextual references, semantic and grammatical structure of text, system of alliterations — the author of this study shows how the development of lyrical subject progresses and what the lingual form highlights in disclosing the poem’s ideological and descriptive content. The results of the analysis allow the understanding of the poem presented in contemporary studies to be clarified.
