Laudatory work (3)

I believe the answer is:

ode

'laudatory work' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ode that I've seen before include "Poetic composition" , "(Railway)system" , "Poem in praise of doe" , "poetry" , "Verse form" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily and The Wall Street Journal.
