  By the Dawn's Early Light is an album by composer Harold Budd. It was first released in 1991 by the Warner Bros. and WEA record labels, and subsequently re-released with new cover art in 2006 by All Saints Records. The album is typical of Budd's signature minimalist style, and features several short poems, each read by Budd himself.
