Learn English – word to describe someone who wakes up in predawn

nounssingle-word-requests

I'm trying to translate a poem from Persian. In the poem there is a noun that describes the person who has woken up before the dawn, way before others! It's used in a metaphorical way to describe the person as more aware and wiser than others, not just a bit but much more than them.

Is there a noun to be used for this particular kind of purpose?

The generic term for this:

early riser (Collins) n
a person who gets up early in the morning: My wife and I are early risers, usually up by 6.00.

There is no specific term for someone who rises before dawn. Terms like "night owl" refer to staying up late, not getting up early.
