Aubade

Etymology

French, from Provençal (Occitan) "aubada," from "auba" (dawn), ultimately from Latin "alba" (white, daybreak). A recognized lyric genre from the troubadour tradition onward.

noun · /oh-BAHD/
A poem or song about dawn, especially of lovers parting at daybreak.
What it names
The exact word for the morning counterpart to a love song at night — reach for it to name any work steeped in dawn, reluctant waking, or first light.
Example
Larkin’s "Aubade" turns the dawn poem inside out, meeting first light not with love but with the fear of death.
Related idea
The aubade is the mirror image of the serenade, an evening song beneath a lover’s window; one belongs to daybreak, the other to nightfall.
