morningtide
Early morning, poetically
Morningtide is a poetic or archaic word for the morning hours, the early part of the day.
Like eventide for evening, it treats a time of day as having the rhythmic quality of tides: We set out at morningtide.
The word appears mainly in hymns, older literature, and deliberately elevated prose.
