The sky was breathing in autumn
Less often the sun shone
The day was getting shorter
Mysterious forest canopy
With a sad noise she was naked,
Fog fell on the fields,
The noisy caravan geese
Stretched towards the south: approached
Quite a boring time;
It was November already at the yard.

Analysis of the poem "Already the sky breathed in autumn" by Pushkin

The work "Already the sky was breathing in autumn" by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin is a classic landscape sketch, comparable to a painting.

The poem is part of the fourth chapter of the novel in verse "Eugene Onegin", approximate dating - the end of 1825. At this time, the poet is 26 years old, he was exiled to the Mikhailovskoye estate. The size of the poem is a Onegin stanza (tetrameter iambic with adjacent and sweeping rhymes). However, the beginning of the stanza (4 lines) about the whims of the "northern summer" with a cross rhyme is omitted here. An explanation of E. Onegin and T. Larina has already happened. Then the hero seemed to "behave very nicely with sad Tanya", dispelling all her hopes with an inspired speech about his character and mindset, not created for family happiness. Winter is ahead, V. Lensky's visit and an invitation to Tatyana's name day. The autumn landscape is described in a calendar chronology. The passage begins with the metaphor that became its title. Anaphora "already" continues its melancholic enumeration: the sun was shining. A diminutive form of the word, emphasizing the warmth of the author's attitude as he says goodbye to summer. "Shorter than the day": in fact, already in September this statement becomes true. Sen (obsolete word) - shadow, cover. The epithet "mysterious" testifies to the author's attitude to nature. It combines realism with poetry. The narrative is endowed with autobiographical features, A. Pushkin paints pictures of his life in the Pskov region. "With a sad noise": falling foliage, dry twigs under a gust of wind. The withering of nature brings sadness to the poet. "The canopy was exposed": again a metaphor. "The fog fell": inversion, personification. “On the fields”: after a long break associated with the urban way of life, the poet had the opportunity to observe all stages of peasant labor in the fields. "Fog": indeed, in autumn, fogs become constant companions of days, bring with them a feeling of coldness and silence. The geese leave around the beginning of October. During this period, hunting is allowed. They fly just by the edges where the poet lived. Always screaming, spending the night on the water. However, not everyone can see them. The fact is that wild geese fly to the south by much more secretive routes than when they return from it. "Caravan": comparison with oriental flavor. The caravan also usually travels a long and arduous journey. In this place - a kind of enzhambeman "... to the south: approaching." Finally, an energetic value judgment "boring time" follows, and the ending draws the line: it was November (this is also the personification with inversion).

"Already the sky was breathing in autumn" by A. Pushkin - a lyrical digression from the author's "Eugene Onegin", included as an independent work in the course school curriculum for primary grades.

The sky was breathing in autumn
Less often the sun shone
The day was getting shorter
Mysterious forest canopy
With a sad noise she was naked,
Fog fell on the fields,
The noisy caravan geese
Stretched towards the south: approached
Quite a boring time;
It was November already at the yard.

Date of creation: between October 1824 and January 1825

Analysis of Pushkin's poem "The sky was breathing in autumn ..."

The poem "Already the sky breathed in autumn ..." is a must for studying in elementary school. Children in the second grade listen to these lines and with their help they are imbued with the magical atmosphere of Russian autumn. In addition, this work allows students to appreciate the poetic talent of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.

It is interesting that, despite its wide popularity, this poem is not an independent work. It is a fragment of stanza XL of the fourth chapter of the novel "Eugene Onegin". This passage has an unusual fate. It was created between October 1824 and January 1825. Originally the next part
The sky was breathing in autumn
Less often the sun shone ...
was placed in stanza XXIV, but then the poet transferred it to the fortieth stanza.

Already from the lines cited, the reader can note how many different poetic techniques the author used to convey his enthusiastic thrill when contemplating autumn beauties. Anaphora in this fragment emphasizes how inexorably nature changes, how summer fades away.

These lines show the poet's love for his homeland. Notice how affectionately Alexander Sergeevich calls the heavenly body "the sun", as if it were a living creature dear to the author. Even the author's sky is animated. If in other works heaven acts as a decoration for more important events, then in Pushkin it is itself a character. It breathes in scents in order to concentrate them and convey to the poet enjoying the autumn views.

The epithets used in the work deserve detailed consideration. The expressions that the poet chooses to depict natural phenomena make it easy for the reader to imagine these things. For example, the phrase "mysterious forest canopy". Thanks to the spectacular epithet, we can see in our minds a once impenetrable thicket, gradually losing its dense foliage and acquiring fuzziness and transparency. Our hearing brings to us an indistinct rustle, described by the poet as a "sad noise" with which the curved branches of the trees are exposed.

Attention should be paid to the metaphor with which the author describes a flock of birds:
The noisy caravan geese
Stretched south ...

This expression is not expected to be found in relation to geese, because it is usually used only in relation to pack animals. The word "caravan" itself supposedly comes from the Sanskrit "camel" (according to another version, "elephant"). But this metaphor very accurately conveys the impression of a long line of birds fed over the summer, slowly moving across the sky.

The month of autumn, mentioned in the ending of the poem, also acts as an independent hero. Spirited November reminds of an impatient unexpected guest who is waiting at the door: "It was November already at the yard."

This poem is a fine example of Pushkin's landscape poetry. In it, amazing pictures are presented with the help of spectacular literary techniques, thanks to which the reader is easily imbued with the mood of the Russian autumn.

October is running out. Late autumn is picking up. Singing birds are not heard, there are few flowering plants. It rains, the sun shines less often, the fields are empty. Birds fly away.

Read these lines. Who do you think the author is?

The days of late autumn are usually scolded,
But she is sweet to me, dear reader,
With quiet beauty, shining with humility.

Of the annual times, I am glad only for her.

That's right - these are the words of A.S. Pushkin. The poet's favorite season is autumn.

2) Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin! (Presentation by A.S. Pushkin)

When did each of us first hear this name?

Maybe in the cradle, when you listened to the melodious singing of your grandmother?

Or lying in your crib listening to the wonderful fairy tales that your mother read?

Pushkin comes to us in early childhood and remains with us for life.

It is difficult to find a person who does not know or love the wonderful works of this poet.

During his lifetime he was called “the non-setting sun of Russian poetry.

And although more than 200 years have passed since his birth, our love for him continues unabated.

Blessed is the day and the hour,
When with the warmth of home
For the first time to each of us
Pushkin's word comes.
G. Gots

6. Physical education

Imagine that we are in an autumn forest and walk along the paths. How did you see the autumn forest?

So we stopped and
Hands raised and shook
These are trees in the forest.
Arms bent
Brushes shook
The wind knocks down the dew
To the side of the hand
Wave gently
These are birds flying to us.
We'll show you how they sit
The wings folded back.

7. Listening to a poem.

1) Now let's hear how A.S. Pushkin describes autumn in his poem (reading a poem by a teacher to music):

The sky was breathing in autumn
Less often the sun shone
The day was getting shorter
Mysterious forest canopy
She bared herself with a sad noise.
Fog fell on the fields,
The noisy caravan geese
Stretched towards the south; was approaching
Quite a boring time;
It was November already at the yard.

Why does Pushkin use the word “dragged on”?

8. Work on expressiveness.

1) Setting logical stress, reading pace, pauses.

2) What feelings does the poet convey? (Feelings of regret, sadness, despondency about the past summer.)

3) Expressive reading of the poem.

9. Reflection.

IN autumn bad weather seven weather in the yard: sows, blows, twists, muddies, roars, and pours from above, and sweeps from below.

- What time of autumn is this proverb dedicated to?

Autumn is popularly associated with the harvest time.

The main character in the life of the peasant is bread.

"Fish - water, berries - grass, and rye bread - the head of everything", - said the people.

How much bread they collect - so life will turn out. Mood and well-being and health depended on the harvest. "Fish - water, berries - grass, and rye bread - the head of everything", - said the people.

But autumn is not only the "bread-and-butter", autumn is also "the charm of the eyes" (A.S. Pushkin). Autumn is beauty: colorful leaves, mountains of ruddy apples, transparent fragrant morning air.

Our mood changes as the seasons change. It is sad in the fall to look at the flowers drying up on the flower beds, sad from the dull cold rain, gloomy dark morning, bare trees, chilly puddles and the gray sky.

And I want to end our lesson with the words:

There is no bad weather
Every weather is grace
Is it raining snow
Any season
We must accept it gratefully.

10. Homework.

Poems about autumn: A. Pushkin

It's a sad time! Charm of the eyes!
Your farewell beauty is pleasant to me -
I love the lush wilting of nature,
Crimson and gold-clad forests,
There is noise and fresh breath in their canopy,
And the heavens are covered with a wavy mist,
And a rare sunbeam, and the first frosts,
And distant gray winters are threats.

FALL

(excerpt)

October has already come - the grove is shaking off
The last leaves from their naked branches;
The autumn cold has died - the road is freezing.
The stream is still running behind the mill,
But the pond was already frozen; my neighbor is in a hurry
Into the fields away with desire,
And they suffer from wild fun,
And the barking of dogs awakens the sleeping oak groves.

The sky was breathing in autumn
Less often the sun shone
The day was getting shorter
Mysterious forest canopy
She bared herself with a sad noise.
Fog fell on the fields,
The noisy caravan geese
Stretched towards the south: approached
Quite a boring time;
It was November already at the yard.

A JOKE ABOUT A SHROCHKA

Leaf fall, leaf fall,
The whole link rushed into the garden,
Shurochka came running.

Leaves (do you hear?) Rustle:
Shurochka, Shurochka ...

Shower of leaves lace
Whispers about her alone:
Shurochka, Shurochka ...

Swept three leaves
I went to the teacher:
- Things are going well!
(I'm working, mind you, they say,
Praise Shurochka,
Shurochka, Shurochka ...)

How the link works
It doesn't matter to Shura
If only they noted
Whether in the classroom or in the newspaper
Shurochka, Shurochka ...

Leaf fall, leaf fall,
The garden is buried in the leaves,
The leaves rustle sadly:
Shurochka, Shurochka ...

Poems about autumn:

Alexey Pleshcheev

Boring picture!
Endless clouds
The rain is pouring down
Puddles by the porch ...
Stunted mountain ash
It gets wet under the window
Looking at the village
A gray spot.
That you visit early
Autumn has come to us?
The heart still asks
Light and warmth! ..

AUTUMN SONG

Summer has passed
Autumn has come.
In the fields and groves
Empty and sad.

The birds flew away
The days are shorter
The sun is not visible
Dark, dark nights.

FALL

Autumn has come
The flowers have dried up
And they look sadly
Bare bushes.

Withers and turns yellow
Grass in the meadows
Only turns green
Winter in the fields.

A cloud covers the sky
The sun doesn't shine
The wind howls in the field
The rain is drizzling ..

The water rustled
Fast stream
The birds flew away
To warm lands.

Ivan Bunin

LISTOPAD

The forest, as if we were looking at a painted one,
Purple, gold, crimson,
With a cheerful, colorful wall
Stands over a bright glade.

Birch yellow carving
Shine in the azure blue,
Like towers, Christmas trees darken
And between the maples turn blue
Here and there in the foliage through
Clearances in the sky, that little window.
The forest smells like oak and pine
Over the summer he dried up from the sun,
And Autumn is a quiet widow
He enters his motley tower ...

Dry corn stalks in the fields

Wheel tracks and faded tops.
In the cold sea - pale jellyfish
And red underwater grass.

Fields and autumn. Sea and naked
Cliffs. Here is the night and we go
To the dark shore At sea - lethargy
In all his great mystery.

"Do you see the water?" - “I see only mercury
Misty shine ... "Neither sky, nor earth.
Only the starry shine hangs below us - in the muddy
Bottomless phosphoric dust.

Poems about autumn:

Boris Pasternak

GOLDEN AUTUMN

Fall. Fairy palace
Open for everyone to review.
Forest paths clearings
Looking into the lakes.

As in the painting exhibition:
Halls, halls, halls, halls
Elm, ash, aspen
In unprecedented gilding.

Linden hoop gold -
Like a crown on a newlywed.
The face of a birch - under the veil
Wedding and transparent.

Buried earth
Under foliage in ditches, holes.
In the yellow maples of the wing,
As if in gilded frames.

Where are the trees in September
At dawn they stand in pairs
And the sunset on their crust
Leaves a trace of amber.

Where you can't step into the ravine
So that it does not become known to everyone:
So raging that not a step,
There is a woody leaf underfoot.

Where sounds at the end of the alleys
Echo at the steep descent
And dawn the cherry glue
Freezes in the form of a clot.

Fall. Ancient corner
Old books, clothes, weapons,
Where is the treasure catalog
Leafs through the cold.

Poems about autumn:

Nikolay Nekrasov

UNCOMPRESSED BAND

Late fall. The rooks flew away
The forest is bare, the fields are empty

Only one strip is not compressed ...
She leads a sad thought.

The ears seem to whisper to each other:
“It is boring for us to listen to the autumn blizzard,

It's boring to bow down to the ground
Fat grains bathing in dust!

Every night we are ravaged by the villages1
Every passing voracious bird

The hare tramples on us, and the storm hits us ...
Where is our plowman? what else is waiting for?

Or are we worse than others?
Or did they bloom and ears uncommonly?

Not! we are no worse than others - and for a long time
The grain has filled and ripened in us.

Not for the same he plowed and sowed
So that the autumn wind scatters us? .. "

The wind brings them a sad answer:
- Your plowman does not have a loin.

He knew why he plowed and sowed,
Yes, he started the work beyond his strength.

Poor poor man - he does not eat or drink,
The worm sucks his sick heart,

The hands that brought out these furrows,
They dried up to splinters, hung like whips.

Like a plow, leaning on the hand,
The plowman walked thoughtfully in a line.

Poems about autumn:

Agniya Barto

We didn't see the beetle
And the winter frames were closed,
And he is alive, he is still alive,
Buzzing in the window
Spreading your wings ...
And I call my mother for help:
-There is a beetle alive!
Let's open the frame!

SPARROW

Autumn looked into the garden -
The birds flew away.
Outside the window in the morning rustling
Yellow blizzards.
The first ice under your feet
Crumbles, breaks.
The sparrow in the garden will sigh
And to sing -
Shy.

Poems about autumn:

Constantin Balmont

FALL

The lingonberry ripens
The days got colder
And from the bird cry
My heart became sadder.

Flocks of birds fly away
Away, beyond the blue sea.
All the trees shine
In a multi-colored headdress.

The sun laughs less often
There is no incense in the flowers.
Autumn will wake up soon
And she will cry sleepily.

Poems about autumn:

Apollo Maikov

FALL

Covers the golden leaf
Wet ground in the forest ...
I boldly trample with my foot
The beauty of the spring forest.

Cheeks burn in the cold;
Anything in the woods for me to run
Hear the boughs crack
Rake the leaves with your foot!

I have no previous joys here!
The forest took off the secret:
The last nut is plucked
Tied the last flower;

The moss is not raised, not exploded
A pile of curly milk mushrooms;
Does not hang around the stump
Purple lingonberry tassels;

Long on the leaves, lies
The nights are frosty, and through the forest
Somehow looks cold
Clarity of transparent skies ...

Leaves rustle under the foot;
Death is laying down its harvest ...
Only I am cheerful at heart
And, like a madman, I sing!

I know, not without reason among the mosses
I tore an early snowdrop;
Down to autumn colors
Every flower I have met.

What the soul told them
What did they tell her -
I remember, breathing happiness,
On winter nights and days!

Leaves rustle underfoot ...
Death is laying down its harvest!
Only I am cheerful at heart -
And, like a madman, I sing!

Autumn leaves are spinning in the wind

Autumn leaves scream in alarm:
“Everything perishes, everything perishes! You are black and naked
Oh, our dear forest, your end has come! "

Their royal forest does not hear alarms.
Under the dark azure of harsh skies
Powerful dreams swaddled him
And the strength for a new spring is ripening in him.

Poems about autumn:

Nikolay Ogarev

AUTUMN

How good were sometimes spring bliss -
And the soft freshness of green herbs,
And leaves of young fragrant shoots
Along the trembling branches of awakened oak groves,
And the day is a luxurious and warm glow,
And a gentle fusion of bright colors!
But you are closer to your heart, autumn tides,
When the weary forest on the soil of the compressed cornfield
Whispering with a whisper the shriveled leaves
And the sun is later from the desert heights,
Light despondency is filled, looks ...
So a peaceful memory silently illuminates
And happiness is the past and past dreams.

Poems about autumn:

Alexander Tvardovsky

NOVEMBER

The tree has become more noticeable in the forest,
It's tidied up before dark and empty.
And naked like a whisk
Clogged with mud by the lane
Covered in frost gold,
The vine bush trembles, whistles.

Between the thinning tops

The blue appeared.
Rustled at the edges
Bright yellow foliage.
No birds are heard. Small will crack
Broken knot
And, tail flickering, squirrel
The easy one makes the jump.
The spruce has become more noticeable in the forest,
Protects thick shadow.
Boletus last
He pushed his hat to one side.

AUTUMN

When the endless web
Carries the threads of clear days
And under the window of the peasant
The distant message is heard more

We are not sad, scared again
The breath of the close winter
And the voice of the past summer
We understand more clearly.

Poems about autumn:

Fyodor Tyutchev

Is in the autumn of the initial
A short but wondrous time -
The whole day is like crystal,
And the evenings are radiant ...
The air is emptying, you can't hear the birds anymore,
But far from the first winter storms
And clear and warm azure pours
To the resting field ...

Poems about autumn:

Sergey Yesenin

The fields are squeezed, the groves are bare,
The water is foggy and damp.
Wheel behind the blue mountains
The quiet sun went down.
The blasted road slumbers.
She dreamed today
Which is very, very little
It remains to wait for the gray winter ...

Children's poems about autumn

E. Trutneva

In the morning we go to the yard -
Leaves are raining down
Rustle underfoot
And they fly ... fly ... fly ...

Cobwebs fly by
With spiders in the middle
And high from the ground
The cranes flew by.

Everything flies! It must be
Our summer is flying away.

NOVEMBER
Hands freeze in November:
Cold, wind in the yard
Late autumn carries
First snow and first ice.

SEPTEMBER
Autumn took out paints
She needs to paint a lot:
Leaves - yellow and red
Gray - the sky and puddles.

OCTOBER
It's been raining since the morning
It pours as if from a bucket,
And how big flowers
Umbrellas are dismissed.

AUTUMN
The corn is harvested, the hay is mowed,
Suffering and heat are gone.
Drowning in knee-deep foliage
Autumn again stands at the yard.

Golden heaps of straw
They lie on the currents on the collective farm.
And guys, dear friend
They rush to school.

IN THE FOREST
Leaves swirl over the path.
The forest is transparent and crimson ...
It's good to wander with a basket
Along the edges and clearings!

We walk, and under our feet
A golden rustle is heard.
Smells like wet mushrooms
It smells like forest freshness.

And behind the hazy haze
A river glistens in the distance.
Spread it in the glades
Autumn yellow silk.

A cheerful ray through the needles
He entered the thicket of the spruce forest.
Good for wet trees
Remove the elastic boletus!

On the hills, handsome maples
Crimson flashed with fire ...
How many mushrooms, honey mushrooms
We'll type in the grove in a day!

Autumn walks through the forests.
There is no time more beautiful than this ...
And in baskets we carry away
Forests are generous gifts.

NOVEMBER
In November, forest animals
They close the doors in the burrows.
Brown bear until spring
Will sleep and dream.

SEPTEMBER
Birds flew in the sky.
Why can't they stay at home?
September asks them: "In the south
Hide from the winter blizzard. "

OCTOBER
October brought us gifts:
Painted gardens and parks
The leaves became like in a fairy tale.
Where did he get so much paint?

SEPTEMBER
Summer is ending
Summer is over!
And the sun doesn't shine
And hiding somewhere.
And the rain is a first grader
A little shy,
In an oblique ruler
Lines the window.

AUTUMN LEAVES
Leaves are dancing, leaves are spinning
And they fall under my feet like a bright carpet.
As if they're awfully busy
Green, red and gold ...
Maple leaves, oak leaves,
Purple, scarlet, even burgundy ...
I throw the leaves up at random -
I can also arrange leaf fall!

AUTUMN MORNING
The yellow maple looks into the lake
Waking up at dawn.
During the night the ground froze,
All hazel in silver.

The belated mushroom shrivels
A broken branch is pinned down.
On his frozen skin
Light drops tremble.

Silence scaring alarming
In a lightly dormant forest
Cautious moose roam
Bitter bark is eaten.

M. Sadovsky
FALL
The birch braids unraveled
Maples clapped their hands
Cold winds came
And the poplars flooded.

Willows drooped by the pond,
The aspens trembled
Oaks, always huge
As if less steel.

Everything calmed down. Shrunken.
Went down. Turned yellow.
Only the Christmas tree is pretty
Prettier by winter

FALL
Autumn days
There are large puddles in the garden.
The last leaves
The cold wind swirls.

There are yellow leaves,
There are red leaves.
Let's put it in your wallet
We are different leaves!

It will be beautiful in the room
Mom will say "thank you" to us!

TO SCHOOL

Yellow leaves are flying
The day is merry.
Seeing off kindergarten
Children to school.

Flowers have faded with us
Birds fly away.
- You go for the first time,
To study in the first grade.

Sad dolls sit
On an empty terrace.
Our fun kindergarten
Remember in class.

Remember the vegetable garden
A river in the far field.
We, too, in a year
We will be with you at school.

The poetic sketch "The sky was breathing in autumn" is a small excerpt from the novel "Eugene Onegin", which has become an independent poem. The sketch is written in the genre of a lyrical landscape, and depicts a picture of autumn - the season that Pushkin loved so much. At this time, according to the poet himself, it was always especially easy for him to write.

As an artist creates his picture with short strokes, so Pushkin paints his poetic sketches with words. This stanza in the composition serves as an exposition, a description of the time of year in which the events of the chapter took place. It is written in a simple and expressive language, and fits into 10 lines from 14 Onegin stanzas. This short verse uses contiguous and ring rhymes, feminine alternating with masculine.

Already the sky was breathing in autumn - just one metaphor, and the reader sees a gray sky, covered with clouds, and ready to rain down at any moment.

Less often the sun shone
The day was getting shorter.

These lines are interconnected. The day has become shorter, and therefore the sun appears in the sky less often.

Mysterious forest canopy
She bared herself with a sad noise.

Apparently, Mikhailovskoye was surrounded by deciduous forests, the wind noisily tore leaves from the trees. In another description of autumn, there are other lines saying the same.

The transparent forest alone turns black
And the spruce turns green through the frost.

The forest has become transparent because the leaves have flown around, and through the branches a single green spruce is visible somewhere. Let's go back to our description of the autumn landscape.

The noisy caravan geese
Stretched towards the south: approached
Quite boring time
It was November already at the yard.

Apparently, Pushkin loved autumn September with its velvety summer and motley October, and November, which looked more like winter, bored him, like most of the inhabitants of the district. Although the autumn boredom did not interfere with the poet's work. The best works were created in autumn (for example, the famous one), the most beautiful and kind lines are dedicated to this time of the year, with the exception of love poetry, of course.
