An ontological analysis method was developed based on the ideas by İsmail Tunalı, Nikolai Hartmann and Roman Ingarden. This method admits that the work has one front and one rear structure. The vocal layer makes the front structure while the rear structure is made up of the semantics, the object-character and destiny layers. It is thought that the poem is an ontic whole. Examining the layers that make up the poem, the aesthetic beauty of it will come to surface. Not all of these layers might be found in a work. The purpose in this method is to bring the beauty of the work out. So the layers that make up the work need to be examined. In this study, one hymn by Yunus Emre was examined as per the ontological analysis method. It was aimed to bring the aesthetic dimensions of the poem out by means of this method. It was detected that the poem subject to study is aesthetically rich, and could express deeper meanings by little amount of words.
