Viewed from the aspect of its function, syiiran nadoman has two functions, namely the function of personal expression and social function Rusyana, 1971: 7). The social function of poetry is very prominent compared to the function of personal expression. Poetry pupujian used to influence the thoughts, feelings, and human behavior, but used to convey various religious teachings. As an educational medium, poetry poetry is delivered in a sung way that is memorized off the head.
