Abstract: This article examines G. R. Derzhavin “uncompiled” cycle of seasons that consists of the chapters “Winter”, “Spring”, “Summer” and “Autumn”. The author clarifies the existing in scientific literature grounds for receptive unification of these texts into an “uncompiled” cycle. Alongside the theme and genre affiliation, the point of view of a lyrical subject should be considered as the key features of cyclization. The article gradually analyzes the peculiarities of four seasons that gave the name to the receptive cycle, as well as determines the unconformity of their function to the canons established in Russian poetry of the XVIII century. The author determines the correlative internal links of the texts within the framework of the receptive cycle, based on the topics of dialogues and images of the addressees. In the process of communication, the autobiographic lyrical subject grasps his views upon the nature of poetic gift, and formulates the own axiological paradigms, consists in epicurean perception of reality, ability to enjoy only most essential goods (health and honesty, obedience to God’s will, acceptance of present times and life events of the past. The novelty of this research lies on the thesis that the trend of cyclization has not previously become the subject of special analysis on this particular material.
