At the between the soft white fire of the Vesper Star, 



SeM g oon the Star ° f Labour as the Bretons call it, 

 ' meaning that with its advent the long day's 

 labour ceases, and its cold serenity when it 

 has climbed the ramparts of the mid-summer 

 night, and, as Phosphoros, the Day-Star, Son 

 of the Morning, flashes like a lance -point 

 against the milky onflood of the dawn ?
