Aubades refer to which subject?

• A. Elegy
• B. Cantos
• C. Aubades
• D. Ballad

Answer: (C)

An aubade is a dawn-themed lyric poem, typically about lovers who must part as daybreak arrives. The term comes from French, literally meaning a song at sunrise. So the subject centers on morning—the light of day, the start of a new day, and the tender or anxious moment when lovers have to say goodbye. This sets it apart from an elegy, which laments the dead; a ballad, which is a narrative song; and cantos, which are large divisions within a long poem.
