The Analysis of Awakening Lullaby

Lullaby is a kind of motherly song which is used to put infants into sleep, but one type of formal literature in the constitutional period inspired by these lullabies targeted the awareness and awakening of common people. The current research explores Mirza Ali Akbar Saber (1279-1329), Abulghasem Lahuti (1264-1336), and Sayed Ashrafaldin Gilani’s (1352-1287) lullabies. The goal of this study is to introduce these types of lullabies, the reasons of their songs, the analysis of their structures and contents, and the differences of such types of lullabies with the conventional ones. The methodology of this research is descriptive-analytical. The data was gathered by library and document analysis. The results indicated that the lullabies were formed under social, political, and psychological circumstances of that period. The secret of success of this type of poem in communicating with its addressees in transacting political issues and making the people aware lies in its simple language, traditional literature, the naturalness of literary methods, and the avoidance of intricacy. Finally, the results illustrated two different discourses by the poets of these poems which are investigated in this study.
