An archaic or dialectal term for a small grove or cove, or a nook in a landscape.
Possibly from Old English 'cofe' or related to 'cove' (a small sheltered bay). The word is obsolete or extremely regional in modern English.
English has so many old words for small natural features—'gove', 'cove', 'dell', 'copse'—because people lived closer to the land and named every little corner of their environment!
