leed

Apparently this is a more dialectally isolated term, but in some dialects of Scottish English (among others), this means "a song or poem, a strain of a song or a repeated verse," which I quite like.

Anyways, there is an Old English term for "poems or song" which is alternately recorded as either leoþ or léoð. Within the language at that point, there were several nice compounds such as léoðcræft, "poetry, the craft of song" and léoðorún "wise counsel or advice sent through song or poems" (which was apparently a thing they needed a word for?)

This is most often attributed to the PIE root leu-, an onomatopoeic root for expressives and interjections. Interestingly, this is also the base for the Latin term laudāre, which through a separate linguistic thread gives us the modern English term laud, "praise, glory, reknown, etc."
