Word of the Month: Aubade

aubade \oh-BAHD\, noun:A song or poem greeting the dawn; also, a composition suggestive of morning.

This word isn't all that special, but for the example used on dic tionary.com:

And there he lingered till the crowing cock...
Sang his aubade with lusty voice and clear.
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Emma and Eginhard

Now if he's not talking about morning wood, well then I just don't know how to read poetry.
