Some nouns require determiners and some don't. "Dawn" is one of those nouns that can go either way, depending on what you are trying to say.

Dawn is Martha's favorite time of day (no article needed).

The dawn of man (article needed because we are referring to a specific period of time in history).

We can use prepositions with "dawn", as well.

My workday begins at dawn.
