The work is written in the genre of Greco-Roman ode,

This is a free arrangement of the ode of the Roman poet Horace.

It is from her taken the epigraph: "I erected a monument"

Alexander himself can be called a lyrical hero

Sergeevich.

The plot is the fate of the author, considered in the context of

human history, as well as subsequent contributions to literature.

The poet wonders what place is allotted to him.

in this world, what kind of relationship does he have with

society and readers.

He hopes life wasted in creative pursuits

and outbursts, was not in vain and will benefit the descendants.

He hopes that after death they will remember him: “

No, all I will not die "

the theme of poet and poetry, the problem of poetic fame,

overcoming death through fame.

Compositionally in the poem can be distinguished

three conditional parts.

The first part is the thesis that the poet

erected a "miraculous monument."

The second part is a kind of proof of the thesis.

Arguments - the eternal life of the soul in the "cherished lyre",

the eternity of poetry and poets in the world,

the awakening of good feelings with lyre,

the glorification of freedom and the preaching of "mercy on the fallen."

The third part is thoughts about the purpose of poetry,

about her divine nature, about the freedom of the muse from the base,

earthly affairs, from assessments of society.

The poem is written by six-foot and four-foot

iambic (three verses of the six-footed iamba are contained in each

stanza in one verse of the four-footed one).

High pathos, solemn

sounding is the main features of a poem.

Slow, majestic rhythm is created by

odic size (iambic with pyrrhichia).

For the same purpose, the author makes extensive use of anaphora.

(And I will be glorious; And he will call me; And the proud grandson of the Slavs;

And I shall be so kind to those; And mercy to the fallen ..)

and inversion: "He ascended above the head of the rebellious ...".

metonymy ("That I aroused good feelings with lyre";

"the rumor about me will pass through the whole of Great Russia")

metaphors: "my soul will survive the dust and run away from corruption",

avatars: "muse ... praise and slander were received indifferently

And do not dispute the fool, "

The poet chooses sublime epithets

(a monument not made by hands; the head is not submissive; the treasured lyre;

the moonlit world; proud grandson of the Slavs).

The poem uses a large amount

Slavism (erected, head, pith, how long, all things).

There is no present tense in the text, only the past and the future.

The poet affirms the greatness of poetry and puts it higher

the glories of kings and commanders (he ascended above the head

the rebellious Alexandrian pillar).

It should also be noted the introduction to the text syntax

sical parallelism and series of homogeneous members:

"And the proud grandson of the Slavs, and the Finn, and now the WILD Tungus,

and a friend of the Kalmyk steppes. "
