| | Aubade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The form has some dramatic elements, since the poem is often a dialogue between the lovers, one saying that dawn is near and they must part, and the other answering no. There is often a refrain, in which the watchman, or occasionally the jealous husband, warns the lovers of the approaching dawn. |
 | | The aubade gained in popularity again with the advent of the metaphysical fashion; Donne's poem "The Sunne Rising" is one of the finest examples of the aubade in English. |
 | | Aubades were written from time to time in the 18th and 19th century, although none of them quite up to metaphysical standards. |
