 :"An ''Aubade'' is a love song set in the morning, as opposed to a Serenade which is at night. The term ''Aubade'' first appeared in France in the 1600s, where it referred to a song sung in the morning. It’s literal meaning is ‘Morning Seranade,’ and it is often conflated with the Alba, a poem written as two lovers part in the morning. . . . Instead of focusing on courtly love, the Aubade became about a person departing in the morning."

+*When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value. When the nurses were going through his meager possessions, They found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. One nurse took her copy to Melbourne. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country.
